Wayne,    "but at some point it  has to end", is correct.

Many will not want to let it end because, unless I am wrong, in the past I
have seen posts from you that seemed to affirm to them that YOU would
see that they were fully paid.  Am I incorrect on that point??

In addition, if you would post the "paper work" somewhere that shows what
you are saying is true, then more buy it.
I'm sure that when the last person owed anything by Absolute is paid,
no one will hold any bad feelings, and beyond that if no "late pay or no
pay" posts show up for your firm, then alot of progress will have been
made.
