Seems I am not the only one finding this all rather pathetic. Maybe I've missed the point like Ben too, but surely the main philosophy behind NetYaroze is the sharing of code and ideas. It's give and take. Nobody really cares about a few lines of code going astray here and there. Do they? This kind of thing happens all the time in commercial companies but it's all swings and roundabouts. People just don't have the time or inclination to so small minded. couldn't agree with you more Ben ; )
