You seem to be very mistrusting of the situation FF. What situation would have been acceptable to yourself? There have been absolutely no signs thus far that ML will be looking to leave us in the lurch. All his past history shows him to be a man who runs his businesses with integrity and honesty. There's nothing we can do to change anything if he does pull the plug but I'm not going to worry about the slight possibility that he might do that sometime in the distant future.
I'm prepared to accept that the bloke WANTS to restore us to our former glory, that he wants to do it the right way and that he isn't going to do anything dastardly along the way. If that makes me blinkered then so be it but at least I'm happy.
