As a matter of fact, I do moderate here and code almost fill-time now as my real life committments are at a stand-still at present and I don't live in a Sony Box anymore as I have moved up to a Westinghouse Refrigerator box with a lot more room.
As far as any angry vb.orgers goes, that won't go away anytime soon, I'm afraid. The issue or making money on hacks on the org is a touchy and sore subject for a lot of people, as we have both seen. There are a lot of coders out there making money from paid hacks that don't use the org to advertise or peddle their wares. I think that is the real issue in all of this. Not so much the paid hacks as using the org to get buyers for them. There has been a few bait and hook schemes going on as of late and it seems to be winding down now, which is good. Maybe now we can get back to the way things used to be and start having fun and learning and sharing again.
