it's too elitist for you to handle 
there's nothing secret in my reference files. just research on the net and then you will know everything about flashroms. I don't see why I should study for 10 years then hand all of that info to someone just because they are too lazy to do some simple research.
Take another extreme example... you email a professional PCB Repair business and ask them in minute detail how to repair a Daytona PCB that has lost all 3D graphics. I bet that you won't get any answer at all, or only a response containing multiple 4-letter expletives.....
Or you have a problem with your car and take it to a mechanic. Instead of asking him to fix it you ask him to explain how to fix it because you're too cheap to pay him to do the work. Same response but with twice as many 4-letter expletives.
However having said that I'm not totally unsupportive. I've answered many of your technical questions over the years and I'll answer simple specific questions as long as they are, errr, simple specific questions.

There's nothing lazy about my dumping schedule and re-purchasing already-secured items would be your fault entirely. you already know I keep an up-to-date online list of wanted and purchased items. If you cant be bothered to check it occasionally that's your problem not mine.

as far as I know Hikaru is being worked on but there are major issues with protection or weirdness. AFAIK it's basically 2 NAOMI 2's bolted together so I guess the power of that system doesn't help either when current PCs can't run it fast enough to do development work easily.

you're assuming a lot. when you assume you make an ASS out of U not ME.
I'm pretty sure I never told any dev to piss off when asked to dump something (after all that's why I'm here in the first place). I've dealt with almost all of them at one time or another and I usually go out of my way to keep them happy.
I tend to ignore non-dev types, whingers, a-holes, losers and time wasters etc.
