First of all, there are more than 40 features that are in Rebel 9 that are left out of Rebel Decade 2. 2nd of all, at the time I published the info and even to this day, no one except Ed knows exactly what engines are in the original version of Decade 2 . They aren't the full engines but they aren't Decade's engines either. For all we knew at the time, they could have been extra XMAS presents by Ed. I wasn't the first one to publish the info but I was the first one to publish exactly how to do it. I predict that sales for Rebel 9 Light will go way up now that the public has had a taste. It turns out that Ed had already taken the program off of his site anyway. BUT STILL I was concerned that maybe ED had made a big mistake and I attempted to tell him so. The fact that I was unable to directly contact him should not crucify me. I sent emails to both him and Rob Kemper and even tried to contact him by telephone. Are you suggesting that I should not act like a journalist when I receive a tip that had already been published? What am I supposed to do, pretend that the workaround didn't exist when I knew that others had discovered it?
