Espresso - caramel cycles part 2

Growing up in Grenada, there were older kids that used to scare us younger kids, with stories of an old English man, who lived alone in an old house, and had an old Humber car outside......that was said to open his door, grab a child, close the door, kill and eat the said child. In the end, we kids used to run past his house at full speed. Not even the bravest kid would walk on the old man's side of the street, if the child was alone.

Mr.Treeby died, and even now, many years later, I wonder how could I have been taken in, by words that were untested.

Rumours, are not opinions and experience.

This is not based on rumours it is based around the fact that the the person behind the new company is the same person behind the old company and it is that person and their ethics/standards etc,. that are being questioned as much as anything here isn't it?

Everyone deserves a second chance but some more than others. If your company failed due to a few naive mistakes then fair enough, if it failed through a very questionable business model that is another matter. The person could learn by their mistakes but can they change their dodgy business approach?
What is to say that the components are made in a sub standard manner (which is easily done depending on price and which far east factory is used). The person is still to blame for choosing those components.

May help to look at this one objectively and remove the emotion that you always add. (easy for me to say as I have a Spock like level of emotion - not really a good thing!)
