For those who are wondering why so many people are upset at Mr. Turley,
this is the reason -- his hacking of software and "freely distributable"
software that isn't free has earned him a destructive reputation.  The
members of the group are not being accused of anything, but the "leader"
is.  Had A2WUG, or a group like it, been founded by someone who has
contributed much, such as Harold or Richard or Joe Kohn, then it wouldn't
be flamed as much as it is right now.

My opinions are my own, no one elses.  And this is an explanation, not a flame.
