This is correct. I was hired primarily to work on the supermirror.

This is half correct. True, company did not order me to stop. In all
fairness, neither did Tom. I quit for two reasons because Tom was breaking
promises about reviewing releases that I and a number of other people had
put significant effort into. He had also developed a habit of publicly
insulting me (look back in about Aug-Sept '05 of the list). I was much too
angry to continue working on it.
