BSE: Starting Again?

Here is another copy of my post.  Apparently the first got cut off.

I talked to Mike on Friday morning.  He PERSONALLY answered the phone, so
there was not much he could do to dodge me (grin).

Mike told me that, yes, BSE is going again.  He said that all colony turns
were run by 28 July.  All were sent out.  In the turns was a note that
"explains it all" to the players.  He also said that, as a compensation
for
waiting so long, all non-colony positions would be getting a position
update
and a coupon for a free 140TU turn.

I asked him about all the questions I have been putting to him.  He said
that
in the letter would be some explainations.  He also said that new tech and
research would be forthcoming ASAP, which was also discussed in the
letter.

I asked him about his refusal to answer the phone and why didn't he say
something in ADVANCE.  He said "I have no excuse".

I told him that, had I not talked to him that day, that I would have
closed
my account and left BSE. He thanked me for sticking with it.

I asked him how many people have quit in disgust over the issue.  He said
that 2 or 3 have contacted him and told him they quit.  He doesn't know
how
many will actuall start sending in turns again.

If/when I get this mythical letter I will post a copy of it here.
