Had Mouser not been concerned with open communication he need never have posted here at all.-cranioscopical (December 08, 2006, 03:57 PM)

I also want to say one thing. I have spent my programming life putting the 'community' before my needs. I have dedicated countless hours to newsgroups, developing software, asssisting other developers, and just trying to make other people better without worrying about what I get in return. This was just another way to give back without worrying about lining my own pockets.
I hope people understand that mouser and myself did this with good intentions.

ps2. It might help to put things in perspective if you knew that I have been working my a** off recently to get us donated prizes for the game programming contest (vrgirl too!). It is not fun work, in fact it is downright exhausting. The C++ Builder contest was far more work than I expected, and frankly these contests may really be just more trouble than they are worth for a small site like ours. And I don't get any of those prizes - I don't get anything but the satisfaction of having good stuff for people to win, and the satisfaction of knowing that the site improves and becomes a better place that more people will like and that people who are already here will like more (i hope).
I wouldn't dream of entering any contest or giveaway we have on the site; never have, never will. If I had awarded the contest prize to myself I would expect everyone here to be furious, and rightly so. Hope it's clear now that that's not what happened.-mouser (December 08, 2006, 03:27 PM)
I can only promise that I/we will use it to create good programs for all of you.
And again, thank you Chris for this incredible gift.
