This email is flame bait. You are asking people to post examples of specific acts that made other people feel "burned". I do not think it is appropriate to have this discussion on sage-devel. The discussion should be offlist (because it could easily offend people) or on sage-flame: http://groups.google.com/group/sage-flame > In any case, the idea that someone should be "burned" by another > person using what was freely given away, makes no sense. In my experience, when somebody complains about something and it doesn't makes sense to me, this often means I don't genuinely understand the situation or the person is not expressing themselves sufficiently clearly for me to understand. -- William -- William Stein Associate Professor of Mathematics University of Washington http://wstein.org --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send email to [email protected] To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [email protected] For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URLs: http://www.sagemath.org -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
