Matt3 said:I like your floorplan analogy Dave. Because in my mind a floorplan is something that anyone could draw up and it's just not that hard to do. Tube amps are not that hard to build, even the good sounding ones.
I would feel very bad because I wasn't motivated enough to do what you had done. I would only have myself to blame, nobody else and certainly not you. You make a lot of good points and as you can see, this is a bit of a pet peeve of mine. I hope I don't come off as hostile or anything. I also don't have as much of a problem with these guys trying to protect "their" circuit (i.e. keeping it a secret) but if the cat get's out of the bag...it's tough toenails AFAIC. There's a lot of simple things that are STILL secret like: recipe for Coke, recipe for Cambell's Chicken Noodle Soup broth, KFC's "11 herbs and spices", recipe for WD-40, etc. But IF those recipes get exposed, too bad because it's just a combination of simple ingredients.
No worries! I don't see this as any more than an exchange of opinions..
I see your point.. I wish it was different, but in this world, it's definitely dog eat dog.. I have given a few things away that I probably shouldn't have.
I also agree with your POV if I ripped off your floorplans.. (Also, it's not that easy to do any of this stuff.. You must be one of the gifted folks with some vision, as I can relate to what you are saying,.. I have the same basic philosophy.. Hell, If I can do this stuff, anybody can.. But that's simply not true.. There are folks that can't do that kind of work. Not a slight on them, they just don't have whatever it is that gives them the ability to do it.)
I understand the peeves, I've been known to have a few myself
