Yes, I do feel that information should be free. In hardware & software
development circles, "proprietary" is a dirty word. However, I DID say that
I don't blame you for wanting to keep it to yourself. It is your business
after all. However, I DO take issue with your post where you said:
"your tbi project is simply... marvelous, but full of errors,
misconcptions and... mistakes... lack of experience... i could
tell you SO MUCH... but hell would have to freeze over first..."
You admit above that you're unwilling to share your "proprietary info"
for business reasons, yet you delight in dangling yet another morsel
in front of the list. Its obvious you have no intention of sharing anything
(which is fine), but why gloat on the list?
Do what you like with your information. I neither want nor need it.
I can discover everything you know and more from experimentation, research,
and other sources. At any rate, any information you could give us would
have to be taken with a grain of salt anyway, since you do not share
any flow, dyno, or dragstrip data either. (Assuming that data even
exists in the first place.)

Not a very good example, but since you chose it, yeah... Ever hear
of COM or OLE? Yet another Microsoft technology they have released
to the public, thus creating explosive growth which benefits everyone
(including Microsoft). Microsoft sits on a great number of standards
committies and such, helping to develop new technology. Creating a
proprietary technology is practically a guarantee that someone else will
build a better one.
