Since posting this, I have had further contact with RavenPack and I am
satisfied that my concerns were unjustified. It seems only to have been the
result of a missed email and if there is any fault it is mine for a lack of
diligence in following things through.
I hope no one was deterred from enquiring and I hope there is no lasting
negative impact for RavenPack.
