So folks know where I'm coming from philosophically:
You scored as Existentialist.
Existentialism emphasizes human capability. There is no greater power interfering with life and thus it is up to us to make things happen. Sometimes considered a negative and depressing world view, your optimism towards human accomplishment is immense. Mankind is condemned to be free and must accept the responsibility.

I have a severely useful spreadsheet relating to the purchase of residential property that I'd like to upload to the site. Currently, it's in Excel. It would be trivial to change it to Corel. I could also handle other spreadsheets, as long as they can handle the formulas I need (amortization is the only tough one). What I really want, though, is a stand alone that will correctly manipulate a few numbers that the user puts in. The formulas are all in and all correct. I'm debating between just putting it up for anyone who wants to use it on the site, and actually making it downloadable.
I would appreciate any technical or copyright (of the base program - I wrote the spreadsheet itself) thoughts anyone has. Is there a public domain program I could move it to? Would it handle being a stand-alone spreadsheet, so I don't have to include or pay for the copyrighted program? Thanks in advance.
UPDATE: I've tried uploading it as a webpage and also using Microsoft Excel Viewer. The issue, in both instances, is that this seems to turns the sheet completely static, where I want them to be dynamic and at least to some extent, interactive. And it also requires the use of IE rather than Firefox (Eeewww!).

Logical failures (straw man, ad hominem, red herring, etcetera) will be pointed out - and I hope you'll point out any such errors I make as well. If there's something you don't understand, ask.
Nonetheless, the idea of comments should be constructive. Aim them at the issue, not the individual. Consider it a challenge to make your criticism constructive. Try to be respectful. Those who make a habit of trollish behavior will be banned.

- Day by Day It is site policy to list the main page of every site I reference. Sometimes the real world intervenes and I haven't gotten to it yet, or one falls through the cracks on a long post with multiple references. It is also site policy to list the main page of every site that lists this one on their equivalent roll, as well as the main page of all sites that are members of any of the same groups this site is a member of. Please send me an email with a link to the main page of your site if I've overlooked you (dm at the domain name). For the clue-challenged, note that it is a requirement for your link to appear on every page of your site, just like mine does, and I will not link to spam sites.
Do you have a sample that viewers can look at?
Not without uploading Excel, at least as of yet. DM
I believe there is an Excel viewer so people can use Excel worksheets without owning the program.
