I'm sorry I don't see how it is in anyway similar to the current issue. There was no guarantee that the twitter account would become official but in the meantime users were following the feed under the impression that it was official. Hans never agreed to anything close to what was required to make it official i.e. remove his company information and send the credentials to the PMC. Specifically he absolutely refused to remove his company information in the immediate future. It concerns me that there could be users following that twitter account right now that are under the impression that apache_ofbiz is an official source of information because of the time the account spent on the front page. That concern is very much different from my concern here that a link to myofbiz.com in the news section will open the door for other people to think it is okay to do the same.
