APL up and quit. Not only did he do so with out notice, he left us all stranded with out recent back ups (if you did not have one handy) frankly that is as immature and as pathetic as it gets.
I understand loosing the desire, that is acceptable. But, let your customers know, these customers came to trust APL...as well as respect him. Then for him to betray us is just...unacceptable.
