RUFFIAN wasn't sold either but then suddenly a bundle *was* sold with RUFFIAN2 in combination with ARENA. I dont know about ElChinito. But guess Frank makes a new bundle including ElChinito AND then it could be proven that it's a stolen Crafty THEN Frank could get into troubles. Hope this helps you. I didn't know that everything had to be outspoken for academics. Sorry. I wrote I wanted to give Frank a serious "hint". Do you want to claim that my hint was wrong? I just commented because I saw that Frank had a wrong handling in mind. [Just for your interest: we had a similar case months ago. Then it was about the package number one and Frank asked here in CCC if that was ok how how he did the correction for the claim on his packaging. Yes he asked but then he reacted in that same manner meaning something like "basically Frank knows better what is good for Frank" although many here explained in detail why he was wrong... BTW I bet that we will see that soon a second bundle will be offered _commercially_ and that now is all good PR for FQ, at least how he understands himself as businessman. Funny. Interesting how FREE products mutate into commercial products.]
