[Hypocritus]

Pattycerts, I appreciate your assessment on this. Can I make a couple of points on my behalf?

I was upset, having come from the other forum first and seeing all that Jimm98y had put into this little tweak. He put sooooooooo much time into it. After going through 10 pages (and days worth of time passing) of posts and requests, which Jimm98y would grant by building another revision and posting it, his "signature" became less irritating to me, wherein it stated under each post "If you like my work, you can thank me here." I thought, this man has been nothing but polite and cordial to all the comments and requests, and this is what I've been looking for. I donated some pocket-change.

Afterwards I came upon this (PPCGeeks) forum thread through the same google search I had used to get to the xda-dev site, and found that, after reading through all of these posts, in this thread, Jimm98y didn't get near the kudos and presence of the other site's thread. I felt that it was not fair, esp. with an intro like "Got this shamelessly from XDA Forums (that place rocks btw) from Jimm98y", followed by graphics, text, and links that moved Jimm98y's one (almost) reference from view. I felt that it was not fair, reading through all of the posts, to see much less (none) of the author's instant easy pay links. I felt as if the author had been cheated out of the opportunities that would have arisen, had he been involved in the distribution of his software. Me being in the service business myself and having been in the software programming and distribution business, I was able to relate to this (effort-not-compensated), which does happen. Can you now empathize with the feeling of my original post? It was my purpose to show the small injustice that I felt had been done to the author, by not allowing him to be a part of the distribution of his software on this site, relative to his involvement in the xda-dev site where the software came from.

I do apologize if I hit this all too strongly. I personalized the injustice. I do however, feel there is good merit in much of what I said throughout.

This is only in response to my first post. I refrain from defending my second post right now. But finally, the author should have had more prominence in this whole thread, and I do not think that that should be overlooked.
