sounds like something Bear should look into. Do they have a website, please?

Are the real names of the principles known? Not to open up the can of worms as regards pseudonymity again, but there is a big difference between "Hey, I'm Zarqon Booblyboo and I am on the 'net with things to say" and "Hey, I'm Zarqon Booblyboo and I am on the 'net soliciting seed money for what appears to be a for-profit business endeavor."

I don't know-right now there's no website, just a blog. But yes you have a good point.

We did post our real names and do an interview. Plus we'll be at WisCon!
