But, hey, I’m not out of pocket, so I guess it shouldn’t concern me. But
surely, it concerns a few people out there... weren’t there hundred’s
of charter subscribers after all? Do they not mind losing their money?
And yes: I accept that my views are the views of one cynical antipodean. I
do not claim to speak on anyone’s behalf, other than my own. I just can’t
understand why so few people seem care - or - on the other hand, why people
are happy to simply forgive and forget (or simply “sweep it under the
carpet”).

OK, I’m out some money from this whole thing...an amount that would be a lot to
some, and trivial to others. But if you let money get you upset about anything,
then you’re going to have a sad, pathetic life.
The value of the money that I lost pales in comparison to the value of the
friendship that I once had.
And while “forgive and forget” is nice, the real axiom to live by is “get over
it.” Dwelling on the past--and negative past experiences, at that--does no good.
Far better to focus on the reasons for living...
