Intellectually, yes.. Thought goes into the user-interface of many a script, believe it or not.

Specifically regarding some of my scripts, I don't deny it would be simple to un-obfuscate the code on one level, however doing so would render completely unformatted scripture, which for most people, would deter them enough from wanting to go through it line by line to see what they would like to borrow (steal).

And i dont think ANYBODY in here started without looking at 3rd party scripts for learning purposes, and i must say i learned really much from what i've seen in here.
There are many avenues today which people can use to learn TCL... For example, going through this forum alone would give people more than enough knowledge to write a simple script or two.

And yes, of course, there are open source scripts to learn from, which is the right (but not an obligation) of every author to present to the public for such purposes, if they are so inclined.

I'm a newbie tcl programmer. I have learnt most of what i know now (which still isnt a great deal :lol:) from help in this forum and working out how other people do it in their own scripts which they give they're time and effort for and post here without thought of any monitary gain. Without people like yourselves helping out not just in TCL but in everyday problems, People would'nt get very far. I for one am greatful for everyone taking the time to help out me and others on here. I do wish everyone would give credit where credit is due but sadly in the real world not everyone gives a $h*t. I would want credit for my hard work but the only safe way of not getting your code ripped is dont release it at all.

Keep up the good work guys.
