If I was Ian I would simply take the driver out and make a note that the author complained about it being on the website. The site users could then draw their own conclusions about whether the author of the driver is being too anal or not (I don't know what the driver is and whether the hardware it applies to is for sale today)

It really is a pity that things like this happen. A lot of people contributed to that site and Ian has done a great job all along. It even encouraged me to make a few contributions, one of them just last week!
I hope the site comes back up and authors realise that this information is valuable to a community that has seen its support channels dwindle into almost nothingness over the years. If it wasn't for Amiga.org and BBOAH (and one or two other sites) I wouldn't have kept my Amiga and I wouldn't have bought the hardware I have acquired over the last year.

@ Boing

No, my good man, we must just chill and see if any additional facts come to light. We don't know what the driver is and what all the circumstances are. Ian will sort it out and the site will be back. He is just being cautious. With any luck the author of the driver will step forward and state his case (he must frequent this forum or perhaps EAB if he has written a driver and also visits BBOAH).
