Best not to say too much about that period, I was secretary of CDSL at the time. The hassle we had with a certain owner at the time was very stressful for committee members who were only doing it for the members, travel, social etc.. and supporting the junior development.
Very uncomfortable meetings, threats and ultimatums made towards us, one of the very disappointing outcomes was that Pete Russell lost his JD job and CDSL got the partial blame for that.
