Re: Why no SSCCEs?

You know, I just went to your site to find out what a SSCE was, and
came across the following text "How dare you waste other people's time
staring at irrelevancies and then ask a favour of them. " and then
later "You infuriate everyone if insert or remove typos in your
transcription."

Well, first off, I think this is the kind of self-rightousness someone
refered to below.
Secondly, maybe THIS kind of crap is the reason you are looking for, as
opposed to being "scared to death".
Thirdly, by definition, typos are accidental, dude, so no ones
infuriating anyone purposely.
Fourthly, you answered a question I had about a week ago here - thanks.
On the other hand, to understand your answer, you needed to be
someone who wouldn't have asked the question in the first place. It
was like you're trying to show how smart you are. And now you wonder
about why no one is posting SSCCE's ? ok, whatever
