Please consider that Asus may have been acting on the basis of misinformation deliberately spread throughout this board (and behind the scenes) by others who were misled directly by Petar. Maybe you shouldn't be so quick to point fingers without knowing all the facts and circumstances behind the reasoning of others.
I was obviously misled by Petar as well on the two occasions when I spoke with him, and I shared that "misinformation" with the board as well.
I believe Asus has been as much a "victim" of the same "circle of disinformation" as I.
FWIW
