>>> Oh, how I long for this optimism. <<

You won't see it ever again in connection with Centura. It was not until the Cory incident that I finally relized that Centura had been purposefully misleading us and was not beneath lying to its major clients, small private shareholders, nor its incredibly still fiercely loyal developer community.

When that realization struck me I was left with two choices. One, to leave the thread quietly as so many others have done in the past; and to let others eventually learn the (expensive) truth for themselves. Or two, to humbly admit that until very recently I had failed to see that the Centura turn-around already taking place a year ago had gradually lost momentum over the last 12 months and finally vanished -- in spite of Centura's assertions to the contrary.

And I am not going to lie to you, Matt. I did consider simply making a quiet exit in a foolish attempt to save whatever face I had left at that point in time. But as I learned of more and more negative FACTS about the company, it became clear to me that the right thing for me to do was to continue to post them here so as not to let anybody be inadvertently misled by the year-old starting post, nor by the subsequent 9-10 months worth of sincere but perhaps overly enthusiastic Centura-related post to this and many other threads.

BTW, thanks for the links. I deserve the ridicule and can only hope I have learned something worthwhile from the year-long experience with this thread !...
