I see your point. Hypothetically, some could happen across Peter's site
before knowing anything about the DIY WB development team.

OK, 'maybe', but you have to admit that's a few & far-between scenario.
So don't get too upset with those of us who are pissed off with recent
events. Sounds like you're on the right track; I just took notice of the
"well, technically it's not strickly illegal" line of thought, and
prickled. I guess you were trying to cover all possibilities while not
recommending that as your key attitude. I apologize if I was too harsh
with your comments.

I'm not the only one who thinks Peter's adverts and dissing were less a
matter of bad judgment, and more a planned scenario where he tried to
make a philosophical case against 'any restrictions or conditions', in
order to justify his own private venture into these areas commercially.
He told me himself in a private email he was working on a datalogger & WB
combo he's going to sell, as if to say, 'see, I'm not going to be held
back by some non-commercial proviso, after all I'm helping diy efi.'
Yeah, right. Such a help.
