You could have stated, you wanted to learn how to do it yourself and weren't interested ina 'turn-key' type solution that he originally provided.

How would you like it if you asked a question about code and someone told you to buy a product? Although your answer will probably be in line with what you have said in the past, I truly believe you might be a bit perturbed; considering you are apparently easily perturbed. Answering a question with a sales pitch is not an answer. We only ever advance and grow mentally in life, as a society, if concepts and knowledge remain open to the public to consume. Where would calculus be if Leibniz hadn't published and disseminated his information freely? Newton said he stood on the shoulders of giants, so why do you take offence to my wanting to learn? Working at triMM I would figure that you would have an open philosophy; yet, perhaps I am wrong. Anthony Pace wrote: > It a coder forum... not a pitch my product forum.
