Re^2: A modest request of Merlyn

[delirium]

Thanks for your comments about my code. I agree that eval was not needed, in fact one of the solutions prior to my own was simple and effective, and did not use eval.

However, being the XP whore that I am, I needed to post my own solution and have it be somewhat different from the other attempts.

None of that is the reason for this thread, though. My code: bad. I'm just asking for Merlyn to take his disclaimer down since it isn't accurate, and that he, like me and any other human, is prone to an occasional personal attack on someone.

At the end of the day does it really matter? I think not. merlyn can be abrasive at times see Color coded diff for one of our long dead tiffs, but so what? People suggesting eval without also putting in a disclaimer is like telling a 2 year old to go and play in the traffic.

On the XP whoring front I usually wait for someone to post a string eval and post code like the example above :-)
