We are not "all saying... 'well, how can we trust him, give him appropriate advice if he isn't being forthright with us?"...you are jumping the gun with that statement...and if you took that from my posts, you read far too much into them.
I have withdrawn my participation on this thread now because of my own situation and my inability to remain objective with Chrome. So if your comment was directed at me (and I am assuming it was since I was one of the people asking direct questions)...along with "others" it was misplaced. I withdrew because I know now that from my own perspective I cannot give him fully constructive feedback....his situation hits too close to home for me, so often my own emotions cloud my advice.
I did not pound away at the man, I asked questions for my own clarification....then I made my own assessment of my ability to remain impartial. As far as anyone else participating on this thread other people do have points here....and well, we have all at times buried our own heads in the sand and hidden from our issues. THAT, I believe is what some of us on here were trying to guide Chrome back to...that's not something to set people in front of a firing squad for.
You have a right to your opinion as always, but don't fire at everyone with both barrels on this.
