It seems to only report back when you actually copy the selection (either ctrl/cmd+c or right click+copy). Just looking at the headers, the JS is obfuscated and I'm too lazy to look at it.

This won't work, if the first char of z_terminated == char_to_remove. I have a similar solution farther down the page. Not many people seem to like doing it with pointer manipulation. EDIT: We should both probably add if(!char_to_remove

Sure. But it shows you where their priorities are. Rather than actually work on Diaspora, they're working on raising money for "a bunch of ideas" in exchange for the promise of releasing Diaspora as aGPL software. On their blog they say "We
