Hi all,
In a conversation between myself (MaggotBrain on the forums) and Jarrex,
I expressed some frustration that Blizzard had been banning Diablo III
users who used Wine. He posted some of the excerpts I sent him from
WineHQ, and it quickly got to 17 pages on Blizzard's forums.

Then it made the front page of Reddit with 25k votes!

It's likely a mistake on Blizzard's part. But I thought this might be
interesting to some people here. It's amazing that this conversation I
had while at work led to more widespread awareness of Wine (one of the
top comments on Reddit asks what Wine is).
And Wine hackers- great work, I've just finished playing 2 hours of
Diablo III and it runs great.
