Fair enough. Perhaps you weren't a wannabe but they offerd you the best deal at the time. And you took it even though I'm sure they had a poor reputation even then.
I suppose my point is that you can't really blame wannabes for queing around the block for the best (only) offer on the table. Even if it is crap.
I'm genuinely glad you found a better place. And I'm only a little bit jealous!
