Re: (Ovid -- Programming style - Off topic) Re: Silly code reviews and shift

[dave_aiello]

I'm sure that I occupy a substantially lower station than Ovid does in this community, because I feel that I will have a tendency to post more questions than answers in the near future. To that end, I would point out that I crafted the code that I submitted in Why is this link parser only working the first time? as carefully as I could. I did so because I did not want to embarass myself, nor waste the other members' time. As you can see if you follow the thread, I was rewarded with two helpful answers.

tilly's response, which concisely answered my question, did not need to be written in a clean programming style. In fact, I suggest that a more lengthy, more stylistic response would have been harder for a subsequent Seeker of Wisdom to follow. And the result was that I felt a responsibility to summarize the situation after I followed the advice provided.

Perhaps it is more important, from a community learning perspective, that at least one side of the code-related question be written in good form.
