Go off profiles Alain, not your own personal biased / vendetta driven assumptions.

Hi, Trent

no personnal vendetta ( ! ) or like, I've never sold ( nor wanted to sell ... LoL ! ) any code !!! ... just consider some respect is due to those who GIVE their free time ... and share their experience.

let's just begin by those throwing here some hasty code lines, thinking the whole world already knows about their "great" project, and just asking "what's wrong" , "Very Urgent" ... or never having opened the "Holy Bible" ( say: PbP manual + The relevant Pic Datasheet ) !!!

want some links to "neat" examples ??? ( not only here, it now happens in every forum I watch ... whatever the theme ! )


O tempora ...

Knowledge received / knowledge given back out to the world is what life is all about. This is why I have posted 21 of my projects on Planet Source Code, close to around 100,000 lines of code all up at a wild guess. I personally expect people to manipulate the code for their own usage, in fact I actually want them to.

I would of course frown upon the thought of someone compiling the entire project "as is" and massively profiting from it. In my book this is nothing short nor far from outright theft. But this is the chance that I'm prepared to take. Most people know what's worth a dollar and what's worth a million. If it's an obvious solution or it has been done before -- probably best to set it free for the entire world to see

I'm going to sit on the fence on this. On one side I can see how some sarcastic comments or non-helpful responce could upset or alienate a new poster, but also I see Alains point, and all too often on this forum (and others) you see people posting for the first time without first searching / browsing the forum, or doing a google on the subject. I think people would get a better reply and more respect if they are seen to of tried resarching the project first.

I've generally had excellent support from the members here when working on my projects, but then I did come to the table with a work in progress, rather than asking someone to send me the code and schematic from first post

Such an "emotive" response in every post that you make with all those "!!!" ...

This is very bad stuff in academia. Guaranteed loss of marks.

FYI: emotive implies "vendetta"

Trent,

I sometimes wonder if you know this forum is 1) pbP 2) not yours ... and 3) not " one cent psycho ..."

after all ... recentering this forum was not so bad an idea ...

That is absolutely impossible to argue with. I indeed have my future plans focused on talking in PBP / electronics or not talking at all.
