I can understand how you would feel that way if Mark was hired as the CTO of PIA, but as we stated before, he never had any operational role or access to anything at PIA.
Yep, I agree. That's why I said it was perfectly defensible. Getting burned by Mark in the past causes me a bad _feeling_, though, and the world of feeling and the world of logic often don't intersect, even within the same person. Basically I acknowledge that my feelings aren't logical, but that doesn't make them not exist.
How can we verify that he doesn't contribute to the codebase? Are there some git logs or something we can look through?
