Good news and Bad news Chris. You are on the radar screen.

    I know it’s no excuse, but that C&D was prob­ably not screened by any­one who had a clue (aka it came from the legal dpt)

    Still a shame it happened though. :(

    I’m con­fused, are you say­ing red Hat have become MS? LOL.
    I don’t see any­thing on the MS link which says any­thing other than spend money with us (though we will now work with others…finally) What have I missed?
