I think Jonathan worded his views in a professional manner and was in no way flaming the fact that the ratchet was originally blurred. His message was fundamentally true about FIRST and how we are all striving to achieve the same goals and improve upon each other's ideas. This is how technology advances.
By the way, I'm impressed with the ratchet, I'd love to see video if you can get some online.
