Over the years, some commercialism has crept in, which I feel is OK if it offers benefits to all of us at a reasonable price, and does not get out of hand. But, it must still be a sharing situation for the most part. So, I have to agree with Andreas' statement. A sketch on a piece of paper could be done in short order with benefits to all. Many of us can't come to Ada to take up your generous offer. I also agree with another part of Andreas' statement--If one doesn't want to take the time or effort to share discoveries for whatever reason, he must understand that mention of them, even casually, can be irritating.
