this article edited by spyware company

According to

http://it.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=182012&cid=15048331

someone from 180 Solutions was involved in an edit war on this very article. Phr 06:43, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

However, the edit conflict occured over half a year ago. It doesn't really seem to be much of a problem anymore. — TheKMan^talk 06:56, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

So is it appropriate to remove the dispute tag now? Phr 06:57, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

Cool Cat originally added the tag with the edid summary "tag for now for this spyware", but I think concerns about the facts about this subject (specifically its spyware content) have been dealt with. — TheKMan^talk 07:02, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

What the heck? Someone just edited the article about 10 times and removed the spyware stuff. Phr 07:39, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

I just added a final warning to his user page, if he does it again then it's time for WP:AIAV -- Ned Scott 08:38, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

I suspect the person is a repeat disruptor/sock carefully avoiding a 3rr vio. I left a note at WP:AN about a troll at large. Phr 08:58, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

Jeez, it changed between two reloads. (I'm from /. too, will watch this article.) Nnp 08:54, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

I see no real dispute over the factuality of the article. If no one objects I will remove the dispute notice in a few days. Nnp 16:18, 9 April 2006 (UTC) (forgot to sign)

This article seemed like a mix of warnings and ad copy endorsing Zango. Fixed. Nnp 16:18, 9 April 2006 (UTC)

29 June 2006, reworked the corporate advertising copy for accuracy. I hope you don't mind me having a little fun with these shills. If you object to my copy, please exchange it for your own, so long as it is not advertising and/or misinformation in Zango's favour. Thank you and good night.

For whatever it's worth, this stuff has been recently discussed about in Slashdot again: [1] --wwwwolf (barks/growls) 13:02, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
