 I am not responsible for your inability to read and comprehend! The text of my
Post made it clear that I was reffering to strong programs that were not
commericially availble. I even named some examples ( ferret and tiger). It was
also very clear that I was not talking about giving the program away since I
mentioned money and a reason for publishing a program, and my very last sentence
in the post raised the question of making money.  Don't blame your ignorance and
lack of understanding on me please!

   Kid you are really funny, In your imagination you have concocted and invented
all kinds of things that I never said or even hinted at. Please work harder in
your english classes, particulary on comprehension.  Show me one line in my post
which even remotely suggested that a established programmer should give away his
programming secrets?  What you are considering insane, is something manufactured
by your own imagination, for I never said any of the things you suggest.  If you
don't know how to read and comprehend please don't waste my time and your own
time, just don't comment!
