Most of what I would have replied has already been covered by Scott. Food for thought: For a comp.lang group focussing on one of the fastest growing languages, there are unusually few people here who will volunteer actual code examples when answering questions. IMO, one of the main reasons for that is the high probability of getting one of your long-winded, pedantic replies. I love discussing code, and I love getting constructive feedback on my code, but what you're doing is something entirely different: you look for minor details to criticize in other people's code, and you do so in a very aggressive, arrogant manner. Your replies are littered with (usually unqualified) comments like "error-prone", "inefficient", "rubbish", "utter nonsense", "you are missing the point", etc, which would practically force the author to post another reply and refute your claims. I don't know about the other regulars, but the prospect of getting into another pointless sparring match with you has often led me to discard a reply instead of posting it. I just don't have the time for this. - stefan
