OMHA Movement

Back on this topic again - because so many people are trying to find out what's going on.  There doesn't seem to be anything going on - just frustration.  The argument has been raging on Network54 - here's the link to the thread: http://www.network54.com/Forum/644200/thread/1282014275/1290085277/Human+Rights+Case

and I agree - what is everybody afraid of with player movement?

There is apparently a Human Rights Case going on - so you can email this link or visit the website below:
