actually, you are fooling yourself enough.

again, get the facts straight before you suppose anything about 
anyone/anything :

the graphical representation of the ~ is used for centuries now to show that 
either a (signal) generator is meant and since decades it also means any form 
of alternating signal. now a question do you: what do you think is the reason 
that the ~ symbol is used in (not only) pd to show that it has to do with a 
signal?

also, im sorry that * is used as symbol for multiplication in pd, but you 
might be surprised to know that this is the case for decades in the computer 
world, even before pd was born.

should i also add that im sorry that mathematical names like sin, cos, abs, 
etc. are used in karma as well? if so, miller should be sorry for using these 
terms because that is what they are called in c as well. and probably 
kerningham and richie are not even allowed to use these terms, since some 
mathematicians even have used that before. well, at least according to your 
funky understanding.

btw, if you really complain that someone uses someone elses ideas in his own 
stuff, you might be surprised to know that exactly that is one of the reasons 
that open source exist.

haha, really, the more you say, the more you contradict yourself. why cant you 
just admit and say "damn, i made a mistake by assuming this or that, im sorry 
for that"?

youre really funny, boy.....
