Re: FLASH: No more demo FLAs

[Michael Penne]

William, Regarding the current tempest on

chinwag:


So let me get this straight. Branden, who has

helped numerous folks on this list out with code

snippets, trouble shooting, as well as giving

away entire fla projects, asking only (in the

case of the full flas) that his and his company's

name be mentioned in the code. He was upset to

notice that several folks, for demos and paying

projects, had replaced his content with their own

and used his code without citing a reference,

credit, etc. 


Now you write a scathing rebuttal to him for his

complaint with a specious conceit referring to

his use of a common term with uncertain origins? 


William, I believe you missed the point of both

Branden's original complaint as well as the

nature of this list as a place to share

knowledge. One would think that a person with

your claimed experience on the net would have the

courtesy not to conduct a flame war on a public

list. 


Further, trolling (on an email list, is hardly

the mark of an 'old-timer'. Please, spring is

coming, get in your boat and bait your hook for a

more rewarding catch. 


Thanks!
