You are completely missing the point. Nobody wants to miss the topics with
Rybka. But Vas shouldnt be the only one who makes a financial profit while
misusing the forum CCC for free. And this is something Vas should negotiate with
Steve via email. Pete just made the conflict public. Normally Vas is violating ยง
4 of the charter. Most visibly in his posting where he expected feedback for the
future marketing and selling of Rybka. That was enough. Also IMO.
