You're not the first to notice that -- I've gotten plenty of mail
about it. As for why it has happened, I don't know, since I no longer
have any connection with Wasabi Systems. However, I can guess
at the philosophy behind it:

  "He who controls the present, controls the past. He who controls the
   past, controls the future."
