I wish more people ask an open-ended question rather than sit in judgement seat. Trial by jury is always interesting.

Why would most people think that I am a moron. The last line is exemplary of what the jury and the judge should mull about. ps-1: I refuse to answer your questions. The debate and offer is on my terms if people don't understand it. ps-2: I am calling everyone's bluff, if you haven't realized it already. (Believe me, I am not acting like a smart donkey here.) ps-3: An extra and a proven hand helps particularly in volunteer driven efforts. My palm could be stinking? Does that mean my code stinks. Most people would rather talk, than look, think, ask or do? --
