I find this quite extraordinary. Someone finds interesting positions, shares
them with us in here and then he is critizided ("at least for courtesy") for
posting them his way and not yours.

I'm sorry, Paulo, but this spoiled-brat attitude is rather discorteous. Would
you prefer not to have these positions at all?
