Wait... that first link in your list from a month ago... that was actually forked to make the one for this thread. They appear to be identical. So if I fork it, can I post it too like I made it? I don't get it. I'm guessing there is some reason somewhere that makes this not a rip off? What am I missing?

In fact, it was forked about an hour ago, and the only changes seem to be the gh-pages branch, and are pretty much summed up by:

    -    <title>Ymacs by brettcvz</title>
    +    <title>Ymacs by tageorgiou</title>

I posted this a month ago but it never reached the front page. tagx emailed me about it asking if he could post it and I said it was fine. More distribution is better, right?

More distro is fine, sure... but the OP's comment seems to be taking credit for this entirely. Is that still better? http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4377752
