I do understand what you are saying and agree with you. Gist being, that it is one thing to copy wholesale, another to copy and at least tweak it abit so as to not appear copied.
But this thread is getting a bit heated and off-topic, it does appear that everyone has had their say so perhaps getting back to the actual discussion of having a rad sub-forum may be in order.
The idea of re-naming the waterblock design sub-forum into a "component design" sub-forum has merit in itself and would be IMO one of the better ways to go abt implementing it.
