Acting on legal advice, I am required to state, that I have absolutely no involvement with this hardware/project. skip_pack wrote: > I have followed since the inception of Community Squeeze...... Acting on legal advice, I am required to state, that the "entity" Community Squeeze, which was an informal partnership between myself, Adrian and John, was ended! (Although liability still remains.) And for the sake of clarity, (because I received several emails about this yesterday), it is purely a timing coincidence that after not posting for 3 months, John made his announcement yesterday. AFAIK, there isn't anything to be read into this, or the timing of the announcement. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JackOfAll's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3069 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=97881 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
