I think that's a significant point and one of the reasons for the announcement along with the Special is that anyone that has left specifically because of Dave should seriously consider Cartek for ther next build.

Neither did I. I never dealt with Cartek directly but I can't say I had even heard anything bad about Dave. Water under the bridge at this point, good luck in the future....
