Thank you for laying out all the details, Cathy. I stumbled into this mess a couple of days after it started, had no idea what was going on, and immediately bailed out for the sake of my sanity. So yeah, this was a very helpful summary of how it all played out, and an even better analysis of the behaviors of everyone involved.
