Consider everything here opinions or allegations. I have been patient (20 years worth) waiting for people to come right, they have not and leave me no choice but to expand on my personal experiences. This is not being done with any malice, it is simply opinions and my rendering of a connected history.
Note: I see my ex-bosses house in Bedfordview is being torn down or the property modified and turned into a security development of some kind, and the office on Van Riebek in Edenvale has also been changed. Removing physical evidence of locations does not remove the facts as some would like to think, or for that matter, moving to Sevenoaks or Maidenhead in the UK. Some of us retained documents. I wonder if these massive real estate changes are because of the ”metering system” or the fences and detection systems we built or something else? Only time will tell.

Teddy’s son IMHO, the village idiot and part time R&D Director, the opposite of his father. Frank was always ready to take credit for someone else’s work.
