When mention of Howie's joining was announced, and no posts were forthcoming on his part, I had a theory concerning this that I kept to myself while waiting to see if anything further developed. Since this thread has found its way to the top of the list again, I thought that I would share my thoughts with the intention of seeing if any further info has come to light.

Some may recall that Howie's joining took place on the heels of KennyB's assertion that he had been the subject of some purportedly unscrupulous jacket dealings with Geoffrey (Tailor) LTD., the details of which can be found at:

Ham made mention that he was contacting someone from Geoffrey to inquire into this, and that was the last I heard on the subject. My theory, which is only a theory, is that Howie joined xmarks with the intention of gaining access to the personal contact info for KennyB so that the matter could be discussed in private. As a businessman interested in delivering excellent customer service, I would have done the same myself, so I am undoubtedly projecting a bit.

By the way, has anyone heard from KennyB since he begged to disagree with Ham on the virtues of Geoffrey (Tailor)? Interesting...
