You are right, that originally I missed an didn't mentioned the important part that somebody else suggested you to write the blogpost, which doesn't really matter from the POV of this thread (it wasn't intentended to focus on who posted it, but whether or not we want to keep/remove or change it). I also don't like how you handled this situation on your part (especially the stackoverflow chat stuff), but we discussed this in private. If you wanna think that this whole drama is my fault and mine alone, then feel free, I can't stop you from that. -- Ferenc Kovács @Tyr43l - http://tyrael.hu
