I agree wholeheartedly, Storm. I was frustrated when I first heard the news of the CTO but shortly thereafter I found out about the events that led up to it. Relative to that situation, any inconvenience I'd experience due to the missed deadline immediately lost any and all relevance.

I can't blame anyone for placing money pretty high on their priority list but it should never be number one. Life will always have it's ways of reminding you what matters.
