Worst yet, I wrote their entire Accounting System from scrath, on my own without any assistance from any other staff member ... Looking back, I should have gone after their business but I didn't, because that is the kind of person I am, I loose sleep over a glitch in my code or a pending something I need to come up with; not over having done something wrong to a person, animal or company.
