Sorry if I seem a little bitter but since 2005 . . .

Understand I enjoy Ecomodder projects as folks here make a serious effort to measure their mods. Many of these projects have credible physics and engineering behind them and the testing is true because sometimes they don't work out. What I can't stand is the hubris of those who should know better and thieves with a keyboard.
