Nobody said that inventors are any less impervious to GREED than anyone
else.

Riiiiight - ok, you send this schematic to EVERYONE. Now ask yourself:
who is going to assemble it? Exactly. Most people will brush it off as a
fraud, and refuse to commit the resources to build it -- people want
instant total gratification (read: AN ASSEMBLED PRODUCT) that they can use
INSTANTLY. That's just basic economics, something you obviously didn't
take enough of in high school.

Freedom costs, genius - that's the way things are. Information is a
commodity to be bought and sold like anything else -- if you don't like
it, go move to a communist country (if you can find one still standing).
I hate people who expect something for nothing. If you're so pissed about
the state of affairs - get off your ass and DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. Don't
just sit on a mailing list and WHINE about it - really - DO SOMETHING.
Read some articles, do some research, plonk down some spare cash to build
prototypes, build something fantastic that works - and then see if you can
really be as altruistic as you'd like everyone else to be.

Greed, yeah - kinda like people who DEMAND that people release information
freely and give nothing in return, right? Yeah. People like that really
piss me off. (Take a hint)

Again: act yourself. Whoopie, you're a Celtic Scottish Canadian...
and I'm a European-mixed-breed Seminole Californian, what's your point?
Everyone knows the power of pollution - and whining for everyone to give
up their knowledge won't stop this world from going down the drain.
It takes a lot of dedication, effort, energy, hard work, and thought to go
into creating a working device - and you expect people to just give it up,
willing. That's lunacy. That's also socialistic. I hate socialists.
Don't take this the wrong way... I'm not trying to be an asshole - but
your pleas accomplish nothing. Give something back or be silent.
Either way, just PLEASE stop whining for everyone ELSE to solve the
world's problems first.
