Hey Speed...I just want you to know, your ability to argue far outclasses mine, so I won't even try to compete on your level...but I did want to bring up just a couple of points.

Right now it is 2 hacks...it could be 3 next week...and 4 the week after...maybe 5 next month...etc. It isn't the number of hacks...its the principle. Especially when the reason for the removal of the hacks is nebulous at best.

The splintering of the community is something that TPTB brought on themselves with their heavy handed actions, policies and fostering of distrust and division within the community.

Xenon - it's not just all about this one hack either...this is just like the straw that broke the camel's back. Lockdown didn't break the LA. Again, it has to do with the principle.

As for whether or not it breaks the LA...only a judge can make that decision if the hack author wishes to put legal opinion to the test.

I think that the funny thing is...this hack probably would never have gotten so much attention if it had been left alone or if they had quietly asked for the name to be changed.

But hey...I could be wrong...IANAL...I reserve the right to be wrong on all counts.

and I am still up for helping with an unofficial hack site.
