That's the quick summary I've seen and yes, I haven't read the
details yet. Most of the industry news I still get a hold of comes from
Pyramid. I'm still waiting for my printed subscription refund to put back
into the digital subscription. Still, no matter what happens to the
material owned by WEG this is still another incident of the state of the
industry.

Ancient cultures believed that names held great power, personal names
more so and they were guarded very closely. To protect themselves, they
answered to another name, because if another discovered their real name,
it could be used against them.
History repeats itself.
