He was able to return to it in June this year when an external circumstance was finally resolved. <br />You're entitled to your opinion on the content, but your inference that it was "cobbled-together" to dodge legal threats is wrong. That's all.

As with many kickstarter projects, the creator is not a professional and has to learn how to do things (and how long things take) as they go along- unsurprisingly it can take a lot longer and be a lot harder than they hoped.<br />I know Iain and I know he's been working away at this for years despite various setbacks. Obviously I'm sorry to hear you're not a fan, but I can at least testify that there was no lack of effort on Iain's part.LZephaniahnoreply@blogger.com
