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.
