Subject: The secrets of Rebel

Yesterday, when I woke up from my (off line) Christmas sleep
and logged on to CCC, the news was everywhere:

  *** Ed reveals his secrets! ***

Astonishing!

Basically I agree with what others have said about it.
It is a very nice thing to do, a wonderful Christmas present.

But there are also other feelings.
Imagine a programmer who has worked for years to improve his
engine. He has discovered many ideas that Ed also discovered,
or similar ones. These ideas gave his engine an edge and
of course he has never revealed them to anyone.

Then, one day he logges on to CCC and ...
How would this programmer feel?
Not too happy, I guess!
