Have to say, that being anonymous *and* posting vague accusations with 
kind of strange proof links BTW all it talks about is "GWAN is not 
open-source and thus it's bullshit ...".
Then it lists some security bugs in old version of GWAN that was then 
hidden from downloads (and for obvious reasons if you ask me).

Hm, yet I never heard about G-WAN at all until somebody brought it up in 
the NG.

This in fact it contains a bunch of accusations of it's own.
It's not like I should have posted all this (everybody knows better then 
to trust anonymous blindly etc.) but just could not resist.
