Thanks for the long reply that won't help me with anything at all.

It won't help you because of your attitude, not because there's no
information there.

I am
just trying to get questions answered and I don't have time to have a
flame war. So please, if you aren't going to help me understand what I
did wrong and just ridicule me, I would rather you save your time and
mine by not replying.

Sheesh. I posted a good deal of useful information, containing
*constructive* criticism. And you seem to think I'm just getting at you
- I'm not.
Do you know the different between constructive criticism and flaming?

I think perhaps you misunderstand the nature of getting help on Usenet a
little: people don't fart about with couching feedback in the most sugar
coated way possible. It's easier just to be direct with feedback and
this is what people do. It doesn't mean they're being offensive or
flaming you, it's just that it's the easiest way to do things. And if
someone provides useful information back, even if it's not directly
useful to you in what you're doing now, it doesn't make sense to gripe
about it. You paid nothing for it, and griping makes the person who
replied less likely to reply in the future.
And people do often post feedback on aspects of your code that you
weren't concerned about. Sorry if that irks your sense of entitlement,
but that's how it is. It's free information, and can be useful to
others, so don't moan about it.

As for saving your time and mine by not reply... The beauty of usenet is
that even though you didn't get anything out of the reply/discussion,
other people can. So it wasn't a waste of time, even though you yourself
apparently didn't get anything out of it.
