    Also, for what it is worth you have not hit "a nerve" I just don't agree with you. I think it's been a cordial discussion.

Well, that's good.

    Also, in no way do I mean to suggest that you don't have the ability to create awesome software. I have no idea of your abilities, I just mean to suggest that your opinion would almost surely change if you were making software and getting paid for it and were reliant on that money and someone came along and stole it.

It just felt like you were acting just a tiny bit aggrieved with your "let's revisit this topic after you open it" line (and the "nobody likes the food I keep" line also came off as somewhat derogatory), especially since b_b had said essentially the same thing and you were replying to my reply to him as if to further force the point.
