They will release the information when all the facts come to light. All depends on how one interprets things which as adults we both know is OK. I'm with you for a glitch

Does my question suggest I wasn't clear on this? NO, I read the article, I wanted to know How, not if. They could explain how it came about for them to shut it down, that's transparency.
