Well, TM is only one of many here that fit that description, and if their reason for not doing so is to protect their edge (if they really have one), then I can't argue with them. I certainly would never offer my edge to anyone, but I will tell them the mechanics of doing something similar. That would at least give them a starting point from which to do their own work, without damaging my own edge. Invariably, IMO, the person who creates something complex will be able to leverage it in ways that other users cannot, because they didn't design and implement it, knowing everything that is involved. So, even if you tell someone basically how to do something, they still have to do it, and will not do exactly what you have done.
