I think you are being a bit harsh. One thread is not spam.
Acknowledge that it happened and move on. You have better things to do than to yell at the internet.
It was certainly an over-the-top response. Do we really need to be so tribal and territorial? There are some good things being worked on here. Ultimately both DRK and SPR will benefit. There's just no need for such hostility. DRK is open source; by it's very nature it's saying "come, use my code, improve me where and if you can". We (DRK & SPR people) should be celebrating that there's this amazing ability for new ideas to be born and cross pollination to occur between both projects.
I think that we as a general community forget that this is the biggest open source R&D community on the planet.
Aside from obvious P&D schemes (which SPR is not; proof is likely imminent with the testnet here so please don't jump on my rhetoric; be patient), we should be actively looking for new perspectives. Mr Spread has been acknowledged as a viable talent ('legit' was the term used). Let's let him code and see what happens.
Or obfuscate the issue in the meantime...I don't think Mr Spread is stopping now and one of the things I appreciate of recent is the fact that there is minimal acknowledgement of created issues from him. Testnet MN's are going to happen and after that Mainnet MN's will happen for SPR.
Cheers, Renegade; this was more of a general post than a direct response...-thumbsup-
