We can definitely not force you to create SSCCE's for your problems.

I'm glad you realize that now.

But we can tell you that we will not take you seriously unless you
create SSCCE's for your problems.

It has been clearly demonstrated in the thread that you do not intend to take me seriously no matter what I do, so that's no great loss.

Even when I provide citations and evidence to support my claims, you and everyone else in your circle-jerk treat it as if it were wrong or an outright lie. One place this has happened was when I said a Java class cannot have two methods with the same signature and different return types, Joshua Somebody accused me of being wrong, and I quoted chapter and verse from the JLS proving that Joshua was the wrong one. He continued to argue! Another was when I pointed out a message on a Web site and a message displayed by some software that clearly and explicitly contradicted one another, and demonstrated that the message on the Web site was correct, thereby logically proving that the message displayed by the software was not correct. People continued to argue with me and claim that the software's message was correct!

Reason is clearly wasted on you.

So you'll pardon me if I don't consider "we will not take you seriously" to be very much of a threat under the circumstances.

In particular, I dislike the sleazily-made implication that I am lazy.

But you openly stated that

I did not. I openly disputed it and I continue to dispute it.

#You're joking. That would have required:
#* Creating a new project in my IDE.
#* Configuring this.
#* Creating a new Java package within the project.
#* Creating four new source files within the package.
#* All of the copying, pasting, and editing noted above.
#* A second round of copying, pasting, and editing (to remove auto-added

#* Deleting the project, its package, and the four source files.
#That could easily take half an hour or more, and requires messing with

That is being lazy !

No. It is called time management, and setting priorities.

But it has been clearly demonstrated in the thread that you do need help understanding how time management and setting priorities works. You have spent an inordinate amount of time bashing me and being generally rude and uncouth, time that you could surely have spent more productively.
