It's fine to quote from a blog post or other such sources, as long as 
you make it clear that this is what you are doing (and that you are not 
quoting so much that it is copyright infringement).  Your first post in 
this thread was formatted in a way that makes it clear and obvious that 
it was your own original words, written for the Usenet post - but 
apparently that was not the case.  Remember, no one reading Usenet is 
going to click on random links in a post - we need very good reason to 
do so.  So please, next time write some introductory or explanatory text 
yourself and make the whole thing clearer.

I think it is quite cool to hear that it is possible to do something 
like this on these 3-cent microcontrollers, but I would not expect 
anyone to use them in practice.
