Paul, Thank you for your response. > To tell someone that they cannot or should not discuss a technique that > they have developed to help themselves or others is is foolish and > self-defeating. The contentious part, IMHO, is that Calvin is making available a technique he did _not_ develop, someone else did. Someone else invested the time and energy to develop that skill. Were the developers to make the skill available to all, that would be a different matter. Should Calvin wish to modify his p'book on his own and make available photos and discussions, go to it. To make available to the public skills developed by someone else seems somewhat immature and short-sighted (I presume, maybe my bad, that Calvin has not asked MCE about this). > But he should not be told to shut up just because some of the rest of > us wish to keep it a trade secret. I believe helping each other also means protecting our resources. I believe MCE is also a member of this list. When you say, "helping each other", are you excluding participants such as MCE because making public something MCE invested time and money in developing "for profit" would seem to short circuit further research efforts by them and other vendors, by removing at least one motivation.
