No, you're just being a pushy religious person. You'd
prefer to use the forum that REBOL Tech. provides to
proselytize your religion, instead, of say, posting a cool
script, helping a newbie, that sort of thing.. Just because
your religion is totally righteous in your eyes doesn't mean
you have to beat everyone over the head with it day after
day. Some people may not, for what ever reason,
particularly agree with your creed, regardless how correct
your creed is. The scrupulous and tactful are considerate
enough to grant their fellow humans freedom from
religion. If not, then crusaders away! :-)
Now then, I don't know if it counts for a halo of some kind
in your religion, but I, personally, have submitted C code
for inclusion in Gnu Emacs, contributed open source code to
the dict project (a project, if you are unaware, which was
founded by one of the original Linux Developers, Rick
Faith). Of course, I've also produced piles of royalty free
and, in fact, license free REBOL scripts for the enjoyment
and use of any who might enjoy them or find them useful.
So, you don't need to preach to me about open source.
Well, I do hope my message here does not offend you, Mark
Dickson, but I also hope it's not just another vehicle for
you to launch into another sermon. (-: Somehow I knew that
if anyone argued with your means, you'd only respond by
arguing their ends. :-)
Cheers and all the best--
Jeff
