This is an extraordinary comment.  I wont say any more.  Its up to you 
to choose what you do with your Saturdays.

Trent, don't forget that Ben and Raymond get nothing tangible from the 
work they do for HUMBUG.

I'm chiming in here as I was the initial contact, and saw an opportunity 
while Tobi was visiting to our country for him to attend and give his 
real life experience.

Its a credit to the vitality and flexibility of Humbug, and to that of 
Ben and Raymond that they were able to put it together so quickly.

In my opinion you owe them an apology but that is a matter for yourself.

Rgds,
