You know, FOAF maybe got it all started, but you were the one who figured out how to turbo-charge the idea.
Congratulations, respect and thank-you.
Thanks for the good thoughts brother Prune!
A posse ad esse synergism! From the possibility revealed by FOAF's brain fart, to realization at the next level of technology.
Everything is fixed in time, so the exciting part part is where we are at today after the synergism of multiple brothers and sisters has had it's way with the design.
I was looking for a solution when I ran across FOAF's post in this magazine. Refrigeration was outside my area of specialization, so I hadn't considered such a solution.
Not only has the original design evolved through emulation since, it has inspired branches in multiple directions! Look at the diversity now, where before you had to build your own!!!
The impact was new businesses started and some old businesses like the stainless steel sanitary fitting market, significantly boosted. That means more people employed.
It of course also brings out the sharks, which includes both inferior and poorly designed equipment, as well as multiple folks claiming patent rights and that all that money made, should have been theirs.
Not only does success have many authors, with failure a bastard child, but simple greed enters the peeeecture!
How fortunate that our First Amendment rights to free speech on this forum are beyond their reach, so we can freely exchange ideas and experiences, thus keeping technological evolution in motion, instead of perfecting a single design and us'ns all becoming complacent and brain dead.
