I answered that too, in my usual manner.  It was easier this time, since he at
least had refrained from using derogatory language.  I managed to show (again)
that the 'arguments' he brought up are as full of holes as swiss cheese, but
I'm more or less convinced that he'll simply ignore that as usual.

Perhaps we should give it to him !?!
If he opts for grabbing it and running, what harm is really done ?
At least we wouldn't have to spend so much time arguing with him over the
incorrect, irrelevant, or unimportant details he constantly brings up.

Without the rest of the STiK crew he stands no chance of making a rival
release, and if he just wants to criticize I'm sure we can handle that.
Anyway, I told him that publication of source code is always up to each
individual author to decide on, and that I found it unlikely that all of
the STiK authors would agree, STiK being SHAREWARE and all.
