] <- Has actually met TheRodent and would value his technical opinions way above most other posters on this forum ...

Agreed, those of us who knows TheRodent for longer than this forum KNOWS him to be a goodguy, no matter what people say. Its not about who is right and who is wrong for me. Frankly, i could not give a rats ass about people making mistakes.
this has turned into a Rodent vs Proasm thing, not by them , but rather by the rest of us.
Proasm , i have spoken to you on irc, you are a nice person, very decent and polite. Kudos for that, i appreciate people dont have their heads up their asses like some ops in #mywireless.
TheRodent we have all known for God knows how long, if ever anyone had a problem with a technical issue, no matter if rodent have seen such a device before (which is unlikely), he will find a solution to the problem , or a workaround. That is just how i have known him. If you keep information from him, he will find his own, in record time, and create his own from scratch, that is just how he is, he is a "can do" person that doesnt wait to be spoon fed like 99% of the IT community who try to hide their stupidity by arrogance.
I have this warped sense of values i received from my father. Honest above all. ProAsm, you lied. I do not appreciate lies , nor any company who would ask their employees to lie for them. You have given alot of information , granted, but my brain is hardwired this way, i dont know which information I must believe and which ones were fabricated.
You have written the mysignal.exe application. granted, and i assume you implied that sentech gave you permission, if i am incorrect, my oppologies. At the time i saw the application i was amazed and wanted to write my own, that is just my nature. also hardwired that way but I had too little knowledge to start with to spend the time researching the basics, and frankly I had no needs that required me, as i assume you had a need for such an application , and developed it.
As for information sharing, this annoys me. Among vanity, arrogance and lying , stonewalling is my newest hate because of the amount of problems i have by some people who build castles of dedicated knowledge about topics, and refuse to share their only castle of knowledge in order to be unique in a crowd of the clueless(note, i am not directing this at proasm, this is past experiences). I am not targetting you, I am expressing one of my hates in life because dragging information out of someone litterally word by word is among the most annoying things I have done , which makes me not ask question as much and just go hunt down the information myself. Bragging about accomplishments is not the point, but if I had a need as big as rodents to develop something, I would have used the best of my abilities to do exactly the same, and where rodent would read the EULA on a product and follow the rules, I would do it and keep it to myself in order to get what ever i need to do , functional, but not harm anyone else.
The thing is, I have been in the same situation where you ask people nicely, please just do me a favour and put it in a module, library, component for me to call, make it simple so i dont have to do it myself and got absolutely NO response from the people that are able to give you assistance in your mission. The same goes for the Sentech website which gave problems with registration the day i registered the first time. I registered and saw what the site was doing wrong, changed my application and registered to not make the page fall over, mailed the support guys with the error and some reading material to make it more secure, and I get blasted by some ******* on IRC for hacking the sentech site, when all i did was basically send them the error message and some help.
I am annoyed by a few things tonight. Not directed towards anyone personally. ProAsm is still a friendly fellow but I will read posts with a pinch of salt and always wonder , as said before, i am hardwired that way, blame my father. Actually, all sentech guys now cause doubt in me because their company ask them to withold information. Sorry, but being in a parastatle goverment institution i can relate to the attitude, and I HATE THAT.
Now.. over to Rodent, I know your situation, but frankly you are wasting your time. You are seriously wasting your time trying to defend your point, or argue for or against people. Its not about if you are right. I dont think it ever was. It was not about opensource or transparency. The people here have not disclosed their reason for being asked to keep certain things from the public, be it to have the competitive bussiness edge over a competitor or perhaps the fear of discovering flaws they know about. You dont have to explain yourself , not to me and not to anyone on this forum so cheer up, its not personal. Fear of the unknown is what i classify it as. Having you on the side of a competitor is what sentech should fear.
A while back some dude said he crashed 6 networks. openly on the forum. Now why are we all smiling about THAT ? An confessed anarchist gets better treatment than the people on this thread?
my opinion on things like these in general, learn to spot a friend, learn to spot an anarchist, learn to spot an ally(friend) when ever that anarchist pops into your neighborhood , acknowledge your flaws and realize that you dont know everything and the person who you are slagging today, might be the guy you have to ask to save your ass tommorow.
in post comment on all... I am not english, and my way of explaining a point might be slightly flawed in syntax, something that I got annoyed with today because some people are anal about syntax and dont see the whole point wholisticly. They typically get stuck on someone spelling a name wrong, than trying to understand the point people are trying to make, and if this was an adult forum, i would be able to express myself better on my feelings about their attitude. Read what people mean, and try and understand. Play the ball, not the person.

]) and the suggestion of a Sentech Technical forum may be the best compromise option - ultimately its up to RPM to decide. I continue to look forward to your posts because they give an insight we cannot find elsewhere into the workings of the Sentech rollout.
