Ha, ha, what a commercial cope out.
Your getting the swing of marketing,  that's for sure.
Now that you've gone totally commercial, and full have said in a most polite
way go fly a kite, well I hope you have fun flying your's.

Ha ha ha
Pass the buck, so in a sweep of your hand you word means nothing?.
Fine
Have you consider politics?

> BTW the "EGOR" name is being trademarked,

Why am I not surprised.

> or "cheap UEGO" to save confusion.

How about "not stolen from the DIY_EFI   LIST   EGOR".
Or "The Original EGOR".
You took your work off list and went private, where the EGOR while coined by
you, was originally from / for the work that the LIST WAS DOING.  The
Original EGOR just went off list to get something done.    It eventually got
down to 2 people that stayed active with it, but all along it was a 0 profit
deal.....
ORIGINALLY  EGOR  was for a DIY_EFI (none profit) project....
Would actually have seemed proper IMO, to ask the list if you could use the
name.
Matter of fact your's is actually a not true egor.  Maybe should be " Knock
off of the DIY EGOR", since some of the research that lead to yours was from
here.

No your not, you still have a matter of your WORD.
Sorry to hear it is of so little value to you.

Why not?.  A buck is a buck.
that's what your doing.
You've done the same thing, just you got there first, You coped out to the
$$$$$
You used your contacts from the list for info, and went to make a buck.
What is the diffference if someone takes the DIY and makes a buck.
Sorry dude the self righteous stuff stops here.....

Nope, there will always be opportunists, but they die off quickly.  If I was
worried about the money end of things, I wouldn't have done tuning tips
programming 101, 808, and posted as many bin locations as I have.  Beleive
it or not money doesn't motivate all human actions.
I sincerely hope THE DIY EGO with time it is refined, and worked on by the
list.
It would be a gas (hahahaha) to have it further refined and as close to
accurate as yours and a freebe, wouldn't that be an interesting turn of
events.   Never had that thought til YOU had to act like this way.

> So come on yous guys, don't make me have to post a bunch of

Sadly,
You won't be hearing from us after this,
