Correct.

Wrong. I am being helpful. Just apparently not to the Arena team.

Wrong again. I asked for permission, and was banned for it. Not one of them can
give me a good reason for this. I tried "their" way and it got me nothing. Other
than completely filtered from the site.

I can see your point, but I agree with it. I think it is more of "I asked your
permission, you banned me from your site for it, so I will do it anyway under
your current license."

That is exact it! I asked on _their_ forums for the permission to do this.
Christopher Conkie banned me from the site for doing so! Why was that done? If I
asked in the wrong forum, and asked in a wrong way, all that was needed was a
point in the right direction.

Instead this is now something huge, that only needed to be small.
