People seem so reticent to call a spade a spade these days.

It IS a fucking manifesto.......
..........because we've all worked so hard in the last 15 years to try 
and make this
creative community a possibility and because I believe that we've really 
created
some important innovation with all of our contributions to the live 
looping world
. 
When some company with a lot of money tries to hijack and take credit 
for that work
it makes me mad, personally.

So, I  personally, don't feel 'pranksterish' about this contest nor do I 
feel like 'nudging'  Roland.

I feel serious and I feel like kicking them in the ass.

I don't see anything wrong with that.    To sit here and debate the 
issue seems so
counter productive.

Hijack the contest or don't!.
