Please lock this thread.

Why?

I can't be the only one finding some peoples poorly hidden "interest" in the subject slightly repulsive (especially given their posting history on closely related subjects here and on other sites), and since the message is already out now, I'd say the thread has served its purpose and should be closed.

That's why.

Ah, so you're trolling.  I guess you'll use any excuse to do that.

:rolleyes:

(Should one laugh or cry at a post like that?)

This post has been removed for violating site TOS, specifically:

• No trolling.
  Don't make posts that are inflammatory just to get people angry. Substance is the key to not being labeled a troll.  
  
• Blatant personal attacks are not permitted.
  Criticize  ideas, not people. Excessive flaming will not be tolerated. Users who  verbally assault the character or person of other posters on a regular  basis will be banned. Name calling is best left to grade school.  Moderator's judgment applies here. "You are wrong" is not a personal  attack; "You are an idiot" is. "You do not have all of the facts" is not  a personal attack; "you are obviously clueless" is. These are  generalized examples, but you get the idea.
  

Please make certain to review the site's posting guidelines and moderation policy. Thank you.

Moderators response was swift and adequate.Thread name was changed and comments that could be taken the wrong way were removed.

I also think that thread should be used for offering condolences and then closed.

Future of CUSA and trademarks can be discussed in another thread.

Moderators response is non-existent (other than removing a post from *me* that can now be read on moobunny instead). The thread is still open, the sad things are allowed to continue, and by this Amiga.org has lowered its moral standard and decency to a new record low.



I'm sure Darrin has much more to say, so go ahead...
