You make more noise than booing taking off.

I did not claim to be the worlds best programmer, not even a good one.
The orignal post was about a simple hitcounter..(Not flawless code)
I did a bit of the coding on it, but about half of it I found on the
net.
I did not bother to change the code from the net..(where 90% of the
"problems" came from)
Thought I would share it. That is all.

I was even COURTEOUS enough to fix the "bug" of locking files.(from
the code on the net)
But you ignored that and started bitting on other parts of it.
So I am now officially "crying wolf" on YOU!

Please excuse me for ignoring your next post/s...



Micha is correct. It doesn't matter if you're the world's worst programmer. Your code is buggy and needs to be fixed. Sharing such buggy code reflects very poorly on you. Refusing to fix the problems when told about them reflects even worse.

So go ahead and use your buggy code on your site. But don't release it to the world - it's guys like you who give programmers a bad name.

Since he got the code from the net instead of writing it himself, the chances are greatest that he doesn't know how to fix it properly. That in itself is nothing to be ashamed of but is something that he really should have owned up to instead of disparaging Micha.
