Again, it is called an attribution _line_, *not* an attribution novel.

The e-mail address is irrelevant; the proper contact address is in the 
“Reply-To” header field in this case.

The date is irrelevant; the statements made are relevant no matter when they 
were made, and if there is doubt, one can look into the “Date” header field 
of the precursor.  If that is not available on the same news server, it is 
available in newsgroup archives.

The newsgroup is already in the “Newsgroups” header field value of the 
precursor; and since there was no crosspost here, it is the same newsgroup 
as in your posting.

So *all* of this is *superfluous* information in your postings.  Why do you 
not simply omit it, and make your postings, and threads in which you 
participate, easier readable?

And stop the address munging.

When will you *ever* learn?

That is a _semantic_ interpretation, and it is correct.  “Syntactically 
correct” means something else.

Saying so does not make it so.

“Utter nonsense” in that it has no discernible meaning for you, or in that 
you do not agree with the statement?


If the former, it means, if the “lacks way too many” is resolved, that, in 
the opinion of the author of the sentence, there are too few examples in the 
blog post (for a documentation).

As a non-native speaker of English whose record shows that they are 
challenged with properly understanding even the simplest of English words 
and sentences, you should be slow to pass judgement as to the correctness of 
(my) interpretations, and the sense, of sentences in English – particularly 
when colloquial speech has been used.


If the latter, then we are finally back on topic:

Above said, the author of the sentence committed a fallacy in the first 
place by assuming that the referred blog post was intended to be a 
documentation.

And *host* objects should not be augmented indeed.  For good reasons that 
can be found in the newsgroup archive.  After intense discussion, that has 
become consensus here since more than a decade (all of the people listed as 
“experts” in the blog post have been or still are regular contributors to 
this newsgroup).  I would seem that the jQuery people, among others, had to 
learn it the hard way again; they are no longer augmenting host objects, but 
keep a registry for element augmentation.
