                            Really? I look at its discussion forum and find it not as popular as it's statistic. Especially the topmost message.

                            Oxfords English < Official CCC Players Dictionary Excuse me for my improper grammar and typos. It's because English is my primary language, not my first language. My first languages are C# and Java. VB, ASP, JS, PHP and SQL are my second language. Indonesian came as my third language. My fourth language? I'm still creating it, I'll let you know when it's done! :-D

                              If you look at a number of those messages you will notice they are more about attacking the author and the article subject. Almost none of them offer a reasoned critique of either his article, in terms of structure and detail, or his project, in terms of technique, coding etc. The votes (and there are lots of positive ones) are what count more than the negative comments. And finally, I hold no brief for Sergio, I don't care much for him as a person, but this article has broken no rules that would merit its removal.

                                      When i read that article, first came into my mind that it ain't have a quality to be a featured article on Codeproject. I didn't mean to remove or down rate the article. I just wanted to share my thoughts with you(May be you misunderstand me because I posted it in Site Bugs / Suggestions forum). But, you have a good point. So many people like it and naturally it is popular now. In that sense, it is okay. I agree with that 100%
