I am new to this forum and I am not terribly interested in roiling the waters, but I feel the need to respond to this thread.

Google Analytics (and my server logs) tell me where people are coming from (when they come to my site) and this thread showed up recently. I just so happens that I am recently a member, so I am taking this opportunity to weigh in.

The QuickSheet post was my content. It is free to distribute as long as credit to the author and the site name is included. (That is my "payment" for the work of putting these together.) This BSD-ish license is explicitly listed at the end of the document. The really frustrating part is when MY own content beats me in the SERPs - and then no reference is given to me.

Had the cut-n-paste operation been complete, the URL would have been included and then all would be cool. But the result is a dated version (bad for the readers) and a frustrated author (bad for me).

The 2.0.0 version is much better with updated content, support for 6.1, and better formatting. The QuickStart page has significant more content but is not in the "tri-fold" format.

Good day
we are not in anyway claiming what you have complied and believe me its good that you have taken your time and organized this, thank you! what we are doing only is trying to make info available to others, I agree with you that it seems to you that your effort its not recognized, but believe you me its nothing like that, we are not in any case taking this personal and privatizing it. We are on this forum to help each other, we Google we post, we scan we post, we hit a bottom rock we ask for info, we get it we post, otherwise forums like this wont be available if it wasn’t for people like you and me. What is the use of a forum if it’s empty? I would be proud if I were you knowing that I made change and shared knowledge with the world.
