http://www.shacknews.com/onearticle.x/54263 This probably happens all the time in the industry, but it's still pretty shitty. Adding a name to a list requires no effort at all, so this should feel like a pretty bad punch in the chest for anyone that spent a lot of his time and creativity in this :( . Anyone here at…
