That data will become inaccessible to me & I'll likely loose contact with some people I only follow through delicious.

It is interesting to see that the "trademark" notice on the site was slipped in about a week ago, under the guise of a CVS log note "changed e-mail address from webmaster to admin".

If this one sticks, then it makes me wonder if this kind of trademark hijacking could be done at other, bigger, sites...
