I love it when fortune pops up a goodie.
In respect to lock-making, there can scarcely be such a thing as dishonesty of intention: the inventor produces a lock which he honestly thinks will possess such and such qualities; and he declares his belief to the world. If others differ from him in opinion concerning those qualities, it is open to them to say so; and the discussion, truthfully conducted, must lead to public advantage: the discussion stimulates curiosity, and curiosity stimulates invention. Nothing but a partial and limited view of the question could lead to the opinion that harm can result: if there be harm, it will be much more than counterbalanced by good."
-- Charles Tomlinson's Rudimentary Treatise on the Construction of Locks, published around 1850.
That is a nice quote: it reminded me of last months cryptogram which examines full-disclosure and locksmiths. If you live in an apartment complex you best not read this one...
Heh... I must think I'm publishing this on memepool or someting.
