That's just not correct, again. I spent about a page of text explaining exactly why.
I'm not trying to pick a fight, man. I merely gave you some advice, best I could. If you choose to ignore it, by all means, do so, but please don't misrepresent this discussion in order to justify doing so. Why would you be needing any justification, anyway?
PS: If we're interested in distant history, I worked with Sam Leffler at Pixar in 1986 and he and I wrote the Pixar Software Standards document together.
And Graphics Gems, and zoom, and...
Dudes, chill... I'm not making money here. I have no vested interest whatsoever. I was merely freely offering some advice, for you to use as you see fit.
I remove myself from this discussion now.
