That's quite a change from your call for a lynch mob.

It's maybe a bit clearer now but we still don't know the full story; probably never will. It might be interesting to hear Ivica's story.

Because we don't know it all it's hard to have a definite position. At the moment my feeling is that perhaps Ivica didn't fully comprehend the implications of the problems he was having, and that they both at least suspected that the bolts were poor but perhaps hadn't realised just how bad they really were. I can accept that they hadn't really understood how bad they really were because none of us had -- until we tested them.

This is just an explanation; nothing more, nothing less.
