Please pardon me, but from a didactical point of view I'd call your

Googling the web for algorithms and then asking a newsgroup for
refinements is definitely not the right way. Try to use your own grey
cells, not those of others, to learn.

solved it before I got your reply. Interesting you mention "cheating", wouldn't you use the resources around you and get help from others? Sometimes one does find it hard to learn from a particular lecturer and even the wacky tutorials. In this case it would be nice to have some good examples to help me work out correct thinking patterns for what I should be doing.Of course the examples shouldn't be the answer.
Nice to seeya sensible person stick for their values.
Oh yeah- I didn't get the algorithms off the net, nor from a person but a text-book used at our university.
