Why would RW issue a /~cogenweb account to someone
not affiliated with the project? That is the 'official' name of
the Colorado USGW Project. I might have understood the
redirect of www.usgenweb.org/co not being changed due to
whatever reason but issuing that account name outside of
the project is a different issue. While it may be legal for them
to do so it certainly does not speak of being supportive of the
USGW Project.
It certainly does nothing to support good will between the project
and RW and adds considerable fuel to the fire of those who already
believe that RW bodes ill will toward the USGW Project. RW is not
owned, or run, by stupid people, someone had to know that there
would be fallout over this.
