Actually that's not the issue. Frankly I am surprised that vb.org is distributing a hack that is clearly in violation of the Computer Software Privacy and Control Act, and possibly even the Internet Spyware (I-SPY) Prevention Act of 2005. We don't live in Greece so her laws (which she still hasn't told us the name of so we can check it out) is meaningless here in the U.S. Like other members here I feel that this is a matter of broken trust. Maybe on this site it matters if the code is hidden, but according to the law it doesn't matter if she tells anyone of not, because it's not supposed to be distruibuted in the U.S and is a violation under section 18(a) of the Federal Trade Commission Act (15 U.S.C. 57a(a)). I'm sorry, but I'm very disapointed in vb.org even allowing a hack like this on this wonderful site
