Well Robert,

In his Youtube video he says it is fully assembled, so no code, 
schematics or programmed cpu would be forthcoming is how I would 
interpret it. Up Shot is this is just shameless promotion.

 From my 99% complete "Timenuts list" database of saved messages going 
back to Jan 2006, his first appearance on the list was last year on Oct 
3, 2012. This is his third message to the list with all three messages 
being a sales pitch for his product. It certainly seems to be a one-way 
gratuitous relationship to say the least.

I don't mind people talking about, describing and offering their efforts 
to the list. But, I do mind when it seems that is the only purpose of 
their involvement.

So, I would vote to have him removed from the list.

Bill....WB6BNQ
