Part of the problem, a large part, is that it is not a community issue, it's business! I have a shopping list and a set of A-Z instructions, to the shopping list add the flat rebuild fee = motor price, WRONG, add the difference between the A-Z motor and the mule, divided and added too sold complete motors, this info was not acquired thru a Megasquirt like shareware community of owner/builders. This is a resonable business practice, and I have a right to recover expenses and nonbillable hrs over the "out the door" cost of the mule. Should another businessman expect this community to fill in all the blanks in his shopping list and A-Z instructions for a specific combo, if his intent is profit? That's for you too decide. Should he expect another businessman to give him this info? That's for me too decide and the answer is NO! I have no intention of "taking it with me" but I don't advertise or in any way suggest that anything is for sale, take orders or deposits, or do any business beyond a very small group. No exceptions. The sale to biba was an exception, and there won't be anymore. But I still feel that businessmen have no place in a open code or shareware community system other than as contributors.
