I'm glad I didn't let you down :)

I don't quite understand this. What is it that hasn't changed much?

I think we're dealing with separate issues here:

a) Did Till demonstrate poor judgment?

I'm still slightly undecided. If someone like pitti said that it was
fine (which was the case here, as I understand it?) I have a hard time
blaming people for accepting that.

b) Something else which I'm having difficulty pinpointing.. Something
about bureaucracy.. I'll have to think about it.
