Welcome to the world.

So people rip you off, so what.  They copy your posts, crack your software,
advertise serials and torrent your music up on 'The Pirate Bay'.  No real
harm done, and you've noted previously you have no problems with most of
this.  Think of it as free advertising.

It's probably not the first one, and won't be the last.  You should see how
many copies of Wikipedia there are.

This may sound harsh, but many of your posts are ideas, and ideas are worth
practically zero.  Truly.  But, it's a blog, so carry on.  You're doing it
for your benefit, not mine.

For your PCB post, unless you actually tried any of the methods it's just a
list of stuff you found elsewhere.  You missed the best one - take a long
piece of solid strand wire, and thread it thru all of the vias, like sewing.
Solder one side then the other, and finish up by clipping off the excess.
Easy, fast, cheap, works.

You state that you're happy to give information away, but you failed to
mention that there is a price - credit.  You're unhappy because you didn't
get paid.
