I have an e-mail from Patrick telling me that some of the recent issues have been addressed and possibly resolved - so I am giving it another spin to see if I can post without hitches.

I’ve read several posts about use of “Trust” on MOG. Instead of replying to every “trust” post that comes up, below is my response and take on the situation. I don’t expect that it will quash current or future “trust” issues that arise, but perhaps it can go a long way in easing the minds of those who are concerned about it.
