Nullsoft farce
So I have to ask...

What the hell is AOL doing letting a set of developers they own develop products that are so obviously against their best interests.

With the pulling down of WASTE this week and the subsequent tortured artist display by Justin Frankel I am reminded of the Godfather's "How did things come to this?".

Who is looking after this bunch of coders and how did they get a piece of code to a production without anyone in AOL putting up their hand and suggesting that just maybe it wasn't something that is really what they want. Maybe being on the other side of the country to AOL HQ and having a lamma in reception saved them.

Rob comments on it here and I agree 100%.
