from what I remember of the issue, he basically pirated the blog cfc code, said it was his own and resold it as encrypted code.
then when it was pointed out to him that this was wrong, he turned around and had multiple temper tantrums. Then on top of it he tried to sell a fix to his complaints for something like $100, more if you wanted the unencrypted code. that said, remember the cf community is still a public forum so we may want to be circumspect about what we say about the person - not to give any ideas but we don't want to be hit with any defamation suits. larry On 1/25/06, Kevin Graeme <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Did he lose in Ray's blackjack code challenge or something?
