I think the point was that Andrew did provide an example, and was responding 
to the direct challenge of "where is *your* code?"  Furthermore, he was making 
the point that the answer is simple and brief, a relevant point to the 
discussion.  I notice that Andrew was not the first to go /ad hominem/ in the 
exchange.

Isn't there a name for the rhetorical device where you challenge someone, then 
make them wrong for responding in kind?  Oh, yeah - flamebaiting, but I was 
sure there was a more formal name for it.
