Tim Shell, and
I guess also Michael Davis, are employees of Jimbo.
They are in a relationship of economic dependence to him.
Please check your facts before making such a statement - it could lead to a
dangerous misunderstanding. Tim Shell is a co-owner of Bomis and IIRC so is
Michael Davis.
As a side note, it is sort of funny to me when I read
people
discussing "Bomis" in the abstract. Ultimately, that just means me,
since I'm the final decisionmaking authority.
