It was unintentional.

My main point stays.
An admin and IT manager needs to evaluate their goals and decide on the 
right approach.
Sometimes it can be frustrating to navigate between the drops and decide 
that a product that will survive for 3 years worth it.

I am working with both linux and windows, open-source and non-open 
source software.
I myself wrote a free software(3 clause BSD) but I have not published 
the actual code, and instead I have published the algorithm pesudo.(if 
you have the skills it's like copy and paste)
I have proved that my code is much more efficient then other software 
and which my software(SquidBlocker) gives more then others but still I 
have not seen a dime of it from anyone.
Not even one human contacted me and said "I want to try it".
And more then just that, admins prefer to use a very old product and 
which they say "it just works" when there is no support what so ever to 
the product and it doesn't utilize the resources of the system well 
leaving aside this product doesn't meet basic production systems goals.
And it's amazing that admins still prefer to use a software that was 
designed to be used in a very low load systems on a very high load 
system vs a system that was designed for 99% uptime and very high load.

So well, it's their choice and they will decide whatever they want.

All The Bests,
Eliezer
