[ANN] automatic metacard IDE creation tool

[Björnke von Gierke]

Rereading my post it was unnecessary edgy on the tone. I understand now 
that you only wanted to make sure i don't feel "stepped on the tie" 
(german saying). Meanwhile, I do think that looking out not to harm 
other people feelings too much can be as damaging as caring for them 
too little.

In my opinion, the rev community has a strange size. You hardly see any 
free stack doubled, and normally, if it happens, both creators know 
each other. At the same time, the community is too small to have only 
one stack of each kind. In the case of rev/mc plugins, or additions, 
I'll be glad to see how other people are approaching the same problem 
within the same constrains. Because of that I often invite people to 
take my work and make their own versions of it. Maybe that was why I 
felt a bit miffed about the questions regarding my feelings, especially 
as I myself know my feelings quite well. :P

cheers
