I know you can do it. Just give it a little try....The GAMA board could have just made a press release that Dancey had resigned for personal reasons, and saved themselves a whole LOT of controversy and trouble. But they did not. To me, this says that they could not, that there were other pressures being exerted, forcing this to become public. Why make a scandal public if you do not HAVE to? When a company puts out a press release talking about something bad that has happened, it does so in order to put a positive spin on things in order minimizethe effect of the bad thing. Make sure to take THAT into consideration....   As for genius, the OGL is not genius. The GPL, upon which the OGL was based, however, was and is genuis (and the genius would be that of Richard Stallman). Taking another's freely available idea/business model (and a successful one at that) and adapting it to your own needs is not genius, it is merely smart business.Also, you seem to be supporting the commision of criminal acts - go read the Electronic Communication Privacy Act - and that is totally bewildering. I don't really care how much you worship Dancey, a crime is a crime, and should never be condoned. There is no speculation on this point. Dancey admitted to "penetrating" a private email list server and reading confidential emails. The Electronic Communication Privacy Act says that this is a crime, period, end of story. The reasons for doing so are irrelevant.</blockquote>
