Raymond,
I didn't take it as a personal attack :) Maybe i was a little vague on
the book, code thing, I am just talking about examples they give in books,
and taking those examples, studying how the code was written, and then
taking it to a high level. I'm not talking about stealing code or anything
like that, i mean maybe thats the way i made it sound, now that i read it
back to myself out loud... (doh!) But my true intentions were to just
emphasize the fact that even when people look at source code online, or .js
scripts, that is a lot of what learning is.

Oh yea, I remember learning to code in school by stealing other's people
code. Yea, I did it all the time.
I assume you actually paid for that book, right? Or borrowed it from the
library? There is a difference. I strongly encourage people to learn by
looking at other people's code... but don't you think it's fair to ASK that
person beforehand? (Unless they posted it to the web to share with the
world.) And if that person has encrypted their code, maybe, just maybe, and
I know I'm stepping out on a limb here, but maybe they don't want you to
read their code?
What really bugs me is this attitude of "If I want to learn, it's ok for me
to read your code, even if you don't want me to". I'm not attacking you
personally Kevin, but I just think that's wrong.
