I need an explanation....

Upon looking over the last name file, I realized that they kinda looked familiar. It was beacuase I MADE SOME OF THEM!!! Malleus Dei, or whoever else did it, just copied the european name files i had made for OOTP 4!! The Italian,Czech,Slovakian,Swedish, and Polish last names have been copied name-for-name from my files! Need proof? Download my file here: http://files.simcentral.net/index/Detailed/2552.shtml, and open up the files and compare to the 2006 file. I am happy to have had something i made in OOTP2006, but

a) why wasn't i asked first before my work was copied?
b) why hasn't me, the Eastside Hockey Manager crew, or the other two guys who contributed to those files been given credit for this?
c) so not only have i had to go through the 2006 file and correct all the thousands of errors in it, but now my work has been copied and i have not been given credit for it??

Anyone on the OOTP staff want to explain this to me?

You may want to try a PM or e-mail to Marc Duffy about this.

If you are genuinely bothered by this, it would seem the best way to go.

I could offer some theories on what may have happened, but they would be just theories and it would probably be best to not state those theories in public anyway.
