Based on the comments and forum discussion, the consensus is that the company shouldn’t have cared what we did. And I mentioned that to my mother/attorney. According to her, our employment contracts with the company both included the non-disclosure agreements as well as non-compete clauses which, if I’m understanding her translation of legalese, means I [...]

In looking at the forum Bertram and I see that the group helping us unravel the mysteries of the cube is a collection of geniuses.
