Thanks for ID'ing the culprit, Dan. This Cassidy is, I presume, one of the
Eldridge/Lessig/EFF, who-needs-copyright crowd. Yecch.
Of course it's perfectly okay for a bunch of people to "develop" a new
dictionary "by" any "willing" folks to come along. Free country and all

writing their own defs. Grrrr.
End of rant.
