Mix Feelings

[Charles <dkanarr@bellatlantic.net>]

Ok, we have "Pros" and "Cons":

If I look back at all the e-mails put through P-Sub.Net - How many ideas
came from G.K.? Is thats copyright fruad?  Everyone refernces G.K.
everyday.  Is this bad?  Is this Wrong?  How many of Psubers' are
building a sub using Psub.net Why does PSub. Net exist?  

I did spend $100 for the ABS book.  I also notice, that this too is
protected by copyright laws.  Does this mean, I can't print thier book
and make money off of it, or does this mean, I can not use any of there
design ideas to construct a sub?  

"Reverse Engineering" Right - Wrong?


Pro:	I'm not making money off of this idea, just saving money.
	(It's just for fun)

	I'm not selling this idea.

	All this typing is giving me great practice.

Con:  	A lot of people now think I'm a cheat.  (I'm really not)

	By the time we finish this debate, Capt. G.K. prob. won't sell me
prints any 		way.

P.S. - I not fitting with the group.  Just wondering.  Is that wrong. 
Am I jerk?  Am I a cheat.  Or was i just trying to save money.  I could
have ask for someone to copy the prints and send them to me.  but I
didn't



P.S.S.  Vance,  Thanks for this following message.  Grow up!!!!!!!

stop that lip trembling, Charlie--no harm intended. How is it that
George 
would get his money if several people split the cost of a set of plans?
Ask 
any Naval Architect what he or she thinks of that sort of thing. Comes
under 
the heading of stealing, in actual fact. Your idea is neither original
nor 
clever. No offense. Just the plane old facts. And I'm afraid there is
more 
bad news. I didn't make you look like a jerk in front of the group. You 
didn't need any help. I'm not calling you a jerk, just suggesting that
we all 
misfire from time to time. Lighten up, Charlie. Jeez.
