I don't recall addressing you on this matter, but thanks. I can both read and respect people's decisions. If it weren't for this little gem:

Heck...they even post in the guys thread they stole the ideas from telling people to buy their hack. But that's just people I guess.
...I might be inclined to believe he really didn't care about this hack anymore. The feeling I get is the main reason he's collapsing the project is frustration, so I must assume this is the impression he intended to convey.

We're all busy people. Whether he decides to reengage the project or not, his alternate statements on the opening post of this thread flagrantly place this hack in the public domain, so it couldn't hurt to look at this from a slightly different perspective for anyone who's interested. If I've figured out nothing else in my life I've learned:

A) it's pointless to be paranoid about other people stealing your ideas. It's frustrating, certainly, yet when you have one idea you automatically know you have the ability to encounter many more.

B) The two most common excuses people use to fail at anything are time and money (in that precise order).

Lots of people are obviously interested in this hack, so I'm betting it's feasible to drum up enough support to pursue it in a different direction people would appreciate. That's all I'm saying.
