Policy letter, at CSH, HQ...time for some chiming...

[Carl Summers]

Hi All,
     There are many things passed along through the internet... I have been
privy to some "secret" stuff as have alot of people... and as well we all
have passed some privy stuff...
  Consider it as this... If you were to walk up to me and ask a question
about a particular subject, I would answer it honestly... if you were to ask
me to teach you everything I know, I would not only humble you, I would
probably(not intentionally) insult you.  The sharing of knowledge is more of
a giving than a taking...It begats respect.  When you give unconditionally,
you get.  Bruce has gave and got as well as I.  I will continue with this.
Yes, THIS is a public forum, nothing is owed and nothing is earned.  Don't
misunderstand people that try to make some money from some of thier own
insight.  It is natural for people to ask of thier friends for explanations
of the unknown.  What is beta development???  It is asking people to try
something and give feedback on the unknown trials of the inventor.  That's
all I have to say about that.
-Carl Summers

For the new guys and those with selective memory.
In case you've missed it, I consider myself somewhat as a public figure.
I post alot here and at other sites, if someone has something to say that is
of a concern to me or a list, it might be incorporated in a posting.
Many things that I have posted were, are, and will continue to be forwards,
and replies.
Generally, I get intelligent well written guestions off list, and then reply
publicly cause the matter apprears to be something that others should or
would want to know about.
If I write to someone off list, I might ask that something not be forwarded,
it's because the donor of that information asked me to maintain limited
distribution.   It's his right to ask for that.   Kinda dealing with the
devil, play by the rules, or no one gets the info..  So be it, I see things
as doing them for the greater good.
While by now, most of what I have has been public domained, but I still post
the snippets I have when asked a specific question on or off line.  Item
locations I 99.99999% of the time rely publicly.

Now by the same token, I would expect that, most ill will, is hidden, and
flames fanned till a there is a full ignition, off list.   Then there is a
full on flame war, on list (for those that remember past events here, that
was how the last flame war arose here).  I don't paticipate in those.
However, I will state what is on my mind as it partains to the list.   BTW,
we have freedon of speech here in the USA, which might seem  like a foreign
concept to some.

In closing, if you write me off list to badger, insult, or name call, fine,
and don't be surprised at a public response.
If you ask a really food guestion, I might just answer you on list.
If you ask a guestion of any form anywhere, I will make an effort to answer
it, thou at times, I might wait for others to comment.
At times the humor here is a tad dry, and some have mistaken that as
something else, but I have never written in a manner to purposely injure any
one, in reference to their intellect, or any ability of their's.  Geesh, why
do you think we have CSHs, no one around here is perfect.   After chasing
around for 2 months, a guy just mentioned what seems an excellent self check
on the WB....
Now should I worry about the ******copyright******* that is possibly infered
or go with the ball and do something?.  Well, that is a no brainer, in my
book.
Sincerely
Bruce and the lil guys.
