Hi, the way I see things, we all stand on the shoulders of giants who preceeded us... I plagiarized that quote. :-)

As you get older and realize that death is a forgone inevitability, you realize that the more you give away, the better off you are. I learned my meager skills by copy-pasting-running previously written code, and I often see snippets of my code here and there. I'm just glad that someone somewhere benefited from it. There probably are older monks than me who saw traces of their code in mine.

. I know that programmers need to eat and provide for their families, but newbs need to learn too. If the code is so special that you don't want it plagiarized, then don't post it on the internet. Sometimes a well-crafted example is all a newb needs to open his/her eyes to how it all works.

I'm not really a human, but I play one on earth. ..... an animated JAPH
