The only reason I smelt sour grapes was because I thought you were implying that BA was wanting <<because>> they took over your previous company not <<how>> they did it - that's why I went to so much trouble to check the wordage - sorry if I didn't express that very well.......
Also, I'm truly sorry you have reason to feel so disillusioned by the way things turned out. I hope things improve as time goes on - for all of our sakes.
Good luck for the future,
