Yes, Community.

I've been a proud member of the Open Source
movement since 1950 when as a young lad I
built my first crystal set.  At that time it was
not known as Open Source but was just the
normal American way of life.  A nearby neighbor
who was an engineer with Collins Radio Co. provided
myself and other interested neophytes with
technical assistance and parts when needed.

That tradition has been proudly carried on since
that time.  I've never expected anything in return
at any time for the assistance I've in turn provided
over the years.

Greed and the love of money have always existed
but haven't been a problem within the world of
commerce widely until fairly recently.  Very sadly,
this malady has infected the technical community
today causing many to withhold contribution for
fear of revealing something which could deprive
them of first opportunity to make money.

The spirit of giving seems to have been lost.

That this would come to pass was long ago foretold.

Humanity has changed for the worse.

  "The spirit of giving seems to have been lost".

   The fact is that ANY device that is worthwhile will be replicated and sold.
Ultimately this is not as bad as it looks. Nor is there a way around it. We can bitch all we want.
  At least if proper credit is given to where the source of the device comes from, that is about all that can be expected.
  The whole world is watching, and ready to take advantage of whatever is of value. Even if you patent it, other countries will still replicated and sell it.
   The only solution for those looking to protect their "ideas", is to not post them.  Sad!!!
And for those that aren't worried about it, you've come to the right place,  here.

Most of us were taught to live by example,some have been taught "you shall know them by their works"
I look at what this man Slayer does as a ministry of sorts,He teaches Men to experiment, he helps them understand and in general
places himself at a fairly high level of risk,all for the sake of this community,and ultimately to make this a better planet.


so much of this should be self evident,


Here we are building a community that lives by example ,who's resources should be protected so as to nourish this work towards our ultimate goal.


Slayer is one of those resources, stand for him and his research,protect him any way you can!
Unless you have a better model for success or a better example to follow?
