So Long, Attrition
Attrition.org is calling it quits:
“Much like Attrition.org’s past defacement mirror, the time has come for us to say ‘no mas’. In the past few weeks, it has come to our attention that too many people are more concerned with making a profit off of our work without any offer of acknowledgement or compensation. For those who aren’t familiar with Attrition, we’re a non-profit hobby site that takes on ‘projects’ as we see fit, when we want to, and when we have time. For those who are familiar with Attrition, you probably know that we don’t take kindly to being dealt with unfairly. Commercial entities, including ‘identity-theft prevention’ upstarts and book authors, will gladly contact us, ask for information and advice, and then not even offer us the equivalent of a reach-around when selling their materials. We don’t pimp our resources to others; they come to us. Unfortunately, more often than not, they won’t even send us a ‘thank you’. We’ve mentioned it in the past, but we’re not going to mention it in the future. This is the last mention.”
Too bad. Time to update the blogroll.
_Update: Or not..
At least I don’t have to update the blogroll.

I can see why people were fooled! That was more subtle than, say, http://attrition.org/postal/
