Procrastination has its benefits I guess, heh. If you fancy them, the css/templates are in https://github.com/tav/blog and the site is run using yatiblog — https://github.com/tav/ampify/blob/master/src/pyutil/yatiblo... — the source is all public domain, so do with it as you please.
As for the difference between independent implementation and code-stealing: I have not and will not accuse you of stealing code. If it came off that way, I apologize.
I will however continue to assume your rooting around other people's work gave you ideas, gave you paths for completion of tasks, and gave you enough working information on reasonable solutions that you can not accurately say you did it by yourself.
Nice strawman, but the subtle difference here is in one case the code was not looked at and talked about and in the other it was.
Eventually, one hacker comes along — who, having been a Fabric user for a long time, has independently experienced similar needs and finding no decent solution, decides to take on the task of implementing the various features himself — making sure that it's clean, backwards compatible and fully documented. And your response is to accuse him of trying to take credit for other people's work?!
I can understand your frustrations with the pace of Fabric development, but accusing another hacker of taking credit for other people's work simply beggars belief. Even more incredible is that so many people decided to upvote you! For the record, I'm not taking credit for anyone else's work. I came up with the various ideas myself and you can look at the code to see that it's not based on anyone else's work. Thank you.
