What did I say about not paying for people's work? I'm perfectly happy to pay for code, and I prefer to buy open source code; it tends to be higher quality. I don't want to have to accept your opinion on how I should release code along with the code.

Jesus Christ on a stick. Take a fucking chill pill Adam. That 'you' is the literary you, not you personaly. You (not the literary you) should seriously consider counseling. Talk about hair-triggered. If anybody is guilty of demanding people do it 'their way' it's you. You really need to better understand this inability of yours to seperate your self-worth as an individual from the ideas you espouse and supposedly put out for public dialog. Everybody has stupid idea, if you can't admit that then there's a problem more serious than having stupid ideas. Everybody makes mistakes everyday, and if you seriously think you don't then you have found your first mistake today. ____________________________________________________________________ The seeker is a finder.
