Elementary not so elementary

Ha ha, I couldn't resist it, I posted a comment here:
http://jeffhoogland.blogspot.com.au/2013/01/tutorial-1-hello-elementary.html

But next day, Mr Hoogland has removed it.

I wrote a little program in BaCon, that did the same as his Python/Elementary example, but was a fraction of the number of lines, easier to read and understand, and compiles to a tiny and fast 46KB standalone binary executable.

I posted my BaCon program as a comment to his blog
and a link to my example GTK app:
http://bkhome.org/bacon/my-1st-gtk-app/index.html

I just posted the code and link, no provocative comments, but it was obviously too confronting for Mr Hoogland.

Not Provocative?

The blog is clearly about Elementary and Python and you post something about Bacon! That's a bit like someone coming along to the Puppy Forum and posting something that says here's how to do it with Tiny Core Linux (or whatever). Maybe your post was deleted due to irrelevance.

"Jeff Hooligan's bio-- I grew up in the [b]Chicago[/b]land area and I am a [i]certified[/i] BK, the rumors of Chicago is true, been there and was threaten with arrest for just waving howdy (Like we do in Texas) to someone who waved at me first. Just be glad all he did was just delete your post(s). :worried: They have great Pizzas there and the elevated trains are fun to ride.

"The draw of puppy is the we _do_ want and even encourage people to post better,cleaner code from any source or any community. The forum has several threads about tiny core, slitaz, and several others including a general "other distros" thread. Humble pie tastes great if you ask me. What is the saying about immitation and flattery? enlightenment's "not-invented-here" attitude is part of what took so long for e17 and it will continue to be marginalized unless they adapt to reduce the entry barrier ... they currently have no decent rapid application development programs like glade, qtbuilder or fluid, so as much as I like it in concept, I have been avoiding it to keep more in the mainstream.

Re size of package

"linuxcbon, No, only the installed (expanded) size. Only the installed size is in the pkg db entries. However, if someone clicks on the "More info" button, it usually leads to pkg size info.
