Roger, first and formost, sorry to hear about your mother, I know what you're going through as my own has been ill for over a year now and has had a lengthy hospital stay as well. Best wishes for her and for your family.
Secondly, although it is understandible that you would feel the urge to defend your new investment, it may be possible that your one mistake here today was in failing to find out about Jeff's past IN FULL before putting your name and your company behind this.
It is also unreasonable to expect that Jeff's past "mistakes" (let's call them poor choices, I'm not comforable with calling what he did "mistakes") would not come back to bite him in the ass.
I saw on previous threads that Jeff was intending to make a fresh start, and I instantly knew that it wouldn't be an easy road for him. I knew it because I have read many of the threads about him, much of the complaints coming from people I know and have some respect for.
What I'm saying is, there is no point in getting defensive and angry at those who post negative things about Jeff right now. If the central purpose of this thread, of his post, was to clear the air then by all means let the air be cleared.
Btw, my sole reason for posting in this thread was to help accomplish that air clearing. Why? Because this is my industry just as much as it is anyone else's here, and if webmasters have been getting ripped off in the past then I think it is ALL our business to ensure that the person making the "poor choices" either makes things right or suffers the consecquences.
It's good to see Jeff at least handling this thread like a professional, I hope he keeps up riding on the straight and narrow..... because he's right about one thing: Actions DO speak louder than words. That is why his past actions are giving him grief now. All I can say is, best of luck to Jeff, and to you Roger with this new venture.
