+   <U>CABAL team splits over fundamental design issues</U>
+</P>
+<P>
+   After yesterdays ground-breaking announcement, we are sad to announce the immediate disbandment of the CABAL team.
+   Over the last several days there has been heated debate regarding several important design issues, and current
+tension in the team has risen to an insurmountable level.
+</P>
+<P>
+   "It's really unfortunate", Max Horn, senior developer on ScummVM and Exult, was quoted as saying,
+"but [former FreeSCI maintainer] Christoph [Reichenbach]'s ideas of aligning curly braces with the left-hand
+side of function declarations while appending them to the end of the line for 'while' and 'for' loops did not make
+any sense at all."<BR>
+The latter replied by pointing out that "using anything but tabs for indentation is calling for trouble."
+</P>
+<P>
+Claudio Matsuoka, of the Sarien project, pointed out his disappointment and noted that he didn't see much of a
+point in trying to co-operate with people entirely incapable of reaching agreements on such trivial issues. "I
+mean, we haven't even resolved the entire EMACS vs. vi dispute, and they're already at each other's throats
+again."<BR>
+James Brown, another senior developer on the ScummVM project, sadly announced that he was laughed out of the project
+meer hours before a decision to split was made. "They just said I didn't belong, since I prefer nano as a
+editor..." he admitted.
