It's so easy to just take someone's name off of something, and call it your own, even if you just tweak a few things. Tim sent me an apology mail, and switched his theme - so it's all cool as far as I'm concerned. Yea, Jeremy.

It works out of the box with many popular plugins, too.

I think it really shows the need for some good, well designed templates, or at least some sort of template creating engine. Sure this guy could have taken an extra couple of weeks, and learned more about CSS, and written his own styles... but I would guess that his skills were not that much more advanced than the average person who has figured out how to hack their myspace page (i hope...) and that is quite the accomplishment. I would like to think he was rather proud of himself for doing so. I liked how you handled it though. You didnt smear the guy - well done.

Just out of interest, what do you get out of K2 that you wouldnt get out of a standard Wordpress build? Looks like he has pulled the design.
