Commercial Rip-offs (spanking)

[tomg]

oops!...did I start something? sorry...I wish I could type in really
tiny letters....I feel rather small....I didn't want to start anything
that would be bad for the list and this is bad...my wife says I'm
an asshole when my blood sugar is low and that's most of the 
time because I'm always building synth stuff instead of eating or
sleeping...or anything else really..;-) I used to watch baseball,
go to movies... a lot of stuff I don't do much of anymore. Well
I did go to be ballpark already this year...love those Braves!

If someone produces something and they got the idea from 
something I posted in an open forum well....that's not stealing.
It's not nice but it's not stealing.

I don't think that I would produce JH or PAiA knock-offs 
but that's just me. If  it's someone's active product I might
build me one but I wouldn't post it to the list or build a EFM
module out of it. Not everyone feels that way and there is no
real obligation to. So I'm not pointing any fingers anywhere. It's
just in the future I'll need to be a little more careful. I am much
better these days and some of the new stuff would be a really
nice addition to someone's product line. It's not like I can 
actually stop or leave the list again or something!!  There are
days when I wonder why I do it but most of the time I know
it's because I wouldn't have it any other way.

So relax everybody (especially Harry), I didn't mean to get you 
worked up..;-)
