Having read all the replies and rants on this thread, I only want to say that we who have been burnt by the Advent debacle quite rightly have ourselves to blame. To all of us Advent and other TP casualties we must stop bleating about the unfairness. I am new to IT but have found a path that I enjoy, Advent DID help me.
You guys here are experts (and I'm not being sarcastic) and maybe what we're asking for is some guidance as to how to move on. I appreciate the time you take to answer our questions bearing in mind you also have jobs and have worked bloody hard to get to whatever positions you hold.
My apologies to if you disagree and if you don't want to help us, and I don't blame you if you don't, then CF is not the forum I was led to believe it was, please let me be wrong (I'm not having a go at anyone).
If this is rambling, well, there is so much to say and I can't type as fast as I think.
