Recently a gentleman sent me a PM to bring to my attention that he thought I had used some of his code in this CC and had omitted to credit him, he requested that i removed the code from the CC, despite its oblique and displaced similarity to his own work. I have refused and offered to credit the person (who shall remain nameless). However if anyone feels that i have used their code in this CC and forgotten to give credit where its due, please feel free to send me a PM. I am aware that i am not at all delicate with who's work I use to improve this CC, my motto is that if its useful then I will use it. I do not ever pretend to be the sole author or the "creator" of the CC, as I have always said, this is a community driven CC. I am simply the curator of other peoples work.
If I have used your genius in this CC then PM me and I'll HAPPILY credit you!
Imitation is the highest form of flattery, and I think its important to remember that these lines of code are not a created entity as they are created out of a free code which isn't the property of any one coder. Crediting coders is respectful of other peoples work, but asking for credit for code which is similar to other code, is both desperate and tantamount to asking a painter to credit the manufacturer of his/her brushes and canvas.
This CC is community driven, I have always said it is free code, if people want to alter it, re-post, or make suggestions, or helpful changes to the actual code then I would be very happy. And again....;
If I have used your genius in this CC then PM me and I'll HAPPILY credit you!
