What's worse is that it already DID happen, ane the party involved didn't 
think much of it (remember Poject David?) But this has little to do with the 
matter at hand.

I doubt that Thinstall would really want to do anything illegal -- this woul,d 
ruin their reputation, and would likely expose them to a copyright 
lawsuit(s). We can only level accusations after they do wrong. Why should we 
a priori think of them as guilty?

I think that while Vitaliy has some firm moral (and otherwise) viewpoints, the 
Thinstall bashing of his was a bit much.

C'mon, they just politely asked if anyone is interested in a job. What's wrong 
with that? If I were looking for winapi hackers, I'd ask here myself. Jeez.
