I wrote the article. I agreed. It's a bad joke. I have no intention causing harm to this system.

I took that intent from the article, but 'professionals' aren't always as kind in their reading of things like that.

Interesting article.

Thanks.

I have no strong evidence, but it seems that Force 47 is actively monitoring my blog [1]. I've never got so many personal attacks and smear comments like I did since I published my findings. I bet one of them will cite your comment as an evidence of my "immaturity".

I have no clue whether or not your hunch is valid, but in the interest of good will I edited the comment; too late for a delete from me.

Good luck, I hope your voice gets heard.
