Why do you think Acacia released the list of sign ups?

Got to admit it has me beat. Why did they ever do it?

The shit it stirred up has not done them any good, webmasters now know who to avoid, some are even saying they now know where their info came from. Everyone else in the industry can now look at the list and decide for themselves whether to support Acacia by doing business with these guys or to move away from the licensees.

This could even send a few of the licensees bankrupt, which is a nice reminder to anyone else thinking signing up is the easy way out. They also now know their information is not confidential, how many others must be worried their info might come out?

I personally think Acacia are a very badly led company, going after education proved that, but this is just plain confusing.

Why did they do it?
