Please don't spread misinformation. Whatever you think of the DAO hard fork, it's a simple fact that the Ethereum ledger was not edited.
This sort of email is unhelpful to this conversation, and it certainly doesn't help with the perception that Ethereum is nothing but a bunch of hypocritical Bankers 2.0.
Everyone knows you didn't edit Ethereum Classic, but the the hard fork, which was re-branded as Ethereum, was edited.
That's not what I was suggesting. My point is that the ledger was never edited. An 'irregular state change' was added at a specific block height, but the ledger remains inviolate.
I'm sure I don't have to explain the difference between the ledger and the state to you, or why it's significant that the ledger wasn't (and can't be, practically) modified.

Please don't insult our community-- the issues with replay were
pointed out by us to Ethereum in advance and were cited specifically
in prior hardfork discussions long before Ethereum started editing
their ledger for the economic benefit of its centralized
administrators.
