In my experience, most programmers would rather rewrite something rather than reverse engineer an existing product.
When I follow the code, I see that there is some type of call back. I'm guessing Google calls back to a function inside TW with the requested data. But, the only place I see where the results could manifest is in *function ok* -- but all that function does is check a ban list. Which is also confusing. If the data in the spreadsheet is your own, why would your email be on a ban list ?? In any event, I don't see that the data is handed off anywhere to the rest of the tiddlywiki machinery. Do you know ? Have fun!
