I think part of the reason why Burnside and Ross kept getting along with
each other was for two reasons. 1) they had to. Both had information and
resources that the other needed. And to make use of them they had to keep
their connection going. 2) They are similar in many ways. They have
nearly the same job, they face the same stress, and problems. So they both
understand what the other is going through so they share a common bond.
Both (well certainly Burnside, but probably Ross as well) don't have that
many friends and when you have few friends you try to keep the ones you do
have even if they did something that would normally sever the friendship.
