Thanks for the opportunity to express these thoughts
You definitely have a knack for doing it.
There are three things I want to say. #1: I am definitely greatful for the code, #2: I was a bit in a haste to declare that the code compiled. It did not. What happened, being always in a hurry, I forgot to switch the file from "Exclude from Project" to "Include In Project" after I made the changes. However I am not really worried about it. I will definitely compile it later. At this moment I am too busy with other things to finish. What I've got was an assurance that those types are not coming from some class you forgot to post or another serious piece of code. Now I know that it is much simpler.
And finally, #3. To be honest, I don't like your lecturing. Do what you want but remember, it is your idiosyncratic style. it is a rather peculiar style too. People are different. I for one thing am not interested in deep understanding of your code in detail. It is not my area. it is a utility for me. I feel ruffled that instead of offering help you are forcing me to study a subject I don't need at this point. You goad me and I've got enough on my plate.
My way of learning is thru practicing, thru using things with as little understanding as possible at the beginning. It saves me time. Understanding usually comes later in bits and pieces. Eventually I will find time to take a look at your code and spend perhaps 30 min analyzing it.
I post a lot of code for people, the code that serves me well, and I always follow the same principle plus one more: once I posted, I either explain it thoroughly or admit that I do not understand how it works.
I hope you won't take it as an offense. Thanks again.
Incidentally, have you ever yourself run it or it is mostly in theoretical and philosophical stage? I am just curious.
