That's pretty much my take on it too as another outsider.
Seems like if this move is as horrifying as you suggest, then the other SM
competitors can handle it. Hell, _anyone_ can start a yahoo group. Start
one and promote it. If Dennis ban's you (which I think would be
unlikely), you could promote it here as well.
Unlike lots of people, I've met and am friendly with both of the
principles in this little squabble. I don't get either side of it.
