From: James J. Gavan on 19 Feb 2010 00:22 Now I'm not going to post Part 2, unless there is some interest from readers. (And my usual style, unfortunately, it will be a bit long). Part 1 - go to this which in fact is in a family genealogy tree. Keeping an open mind read what the author says, but the pertinent part is when he gets down to some two sentences before he uses the word 'Debenhams'. Make a point of remembering those two sentences appearing before the word 'Debenhams', and the paragraph about Debenhams. http://www.ferdinando.org.uk/cater_brothers.htm Part 2 - if published by me, is a sad example of how things can go terribly wrong in both commerce and computing, and should serve as an example for the younger members here, that although our game is IT, like it or not, (a) you shouldn't get involved in business politics, some cleverer arsehole, (political animal), will beat you to the punch, and (b) most certainly you must set your antenna to be forewarned that commercial politics are in progress. Scotch it in the latter case if you are able, or get the hell out of there. Any takers want to read Part 2 ? Jimmy,Calgary AB
