That tactic (though thankfully declined by Wayne) seems very similar to blackmail or a veiled threat, though I am sure you will see it quite differently from your point of view.
Perhaps it's time to do it the american way... the
privacy policy of amiga.org says who amiga.org is, and also suggests that deletion of accounts can be done by mailing Wayne. If amiga.org refuse to live up to their own privacy policy, who should one sue?
As I see it, the new owner is shooting himself in the foot for not being open about it, if anything it just means that many of us will simply leave. But for all I know, maybe that was the plan all along.
