I believe the reasoning behind wanting to be the only one to host a particular project is that any reclassification usually comes with stipulations by the author/copyright owner(s) (ie... packaged materials, zipfiles, pdfs a certain way etc) and the only way to ensure that those stipulations are met, now and in the future, is to insist that the person working to obtain the reclassification is the only distributor of the project.
I don't see it as 'demanding' but, rather, as ensuring the criteria set out in the agreement between the material owner(s) and the site is met. Once another site(s) is allowed to host a project, the original reclassifier loses control over the project and can no longer assure the owner(s) that their wishes will be maintained. In the case of ProTERM, besides Tony's busy schedule, I imagine that the owners of the software wanted it preserved and presented a certain way.

So now, any criticism of how slow Tony is with projects that he demands are not hosted anywhere but his site is full attack mode? Give me a break, he took forever to finish a project and demanded that no one else host the files even when had not finished the project himself. It's more than a fair criticism.Tony's not the one that went into full attack mode without provocation.
