I may have mentioned it before, but this CG fixation of yours is getting seriously disturbing. Step back, rub your eyes, take a deep breath, stretch a bit, and reflect on the relative importance of CP, CG, the age / travel time sustained by supposedly 'fresh' cheese curds, and Life in General. If that doesn't mellow you out a bit, you may want to consider less legal methods. P.S. You spelled 'your' wrong.

Martin does not deserve to be replied to on this, but I did want to second your statement. The point he is misisng is that although many of the articles may be a rehash of something someone read in a book, no one can afford every book on every subject. This site is a god send to people struggling with code problems specifically because of the contributions of people like CG. As far as I am concerned, if CG wants to be a bit of an ass he has earned the right. That is more than Martin ( or I :-O ) can say. I feel guilty as hell that I have never contributed anything useful, but I am a very conservative programmer, I am anal about not using anything professionally that smacks of being experimental. So my limited skill set is already very well represented on CP. Still, I learn a hell of a lot hanging out here, even if it is mostly stuff I am certain I would never use in a professional business app. "Human imagination has been sculpted by the universe within which it was born" Hmmmm...

Because if the statement is if (!CG || !likeMartin) return; then logically, if I do not like you, no-one will ever read this. Martin Marvinski wrote: your mental health is somewhat in question.

Martin Marvinski wrote: your post volume, both on CP and Usenet show a potentially serious personality disorder, Where does that put Nish ? Martin Marvinski wrote: In my 7 months I have only posted around a thousand messages, and zero articles. So you don't contribute anything useful, and yet for 1/8th of the posts I have made, you generate 800% of the controversy. What does that tell you ? You're even dysfunctional online, is my bet. Martin Marvinski wrote: I think the goal of articles is to show something new, and not just do a simple re-write of that you have learned out of a book. That is why a lot of people are complaining about article quality. I’ve seen enough of the “unclickable buttons”, “Creating a desktop icon”, and “Look what I’ve learned from my STL book that everyone already knows”. The reason you probably post articles like these is to get some kind of mental release from knowing you have a high article count, which is probably why you have such a high lounge count as well. Don't be so insecure, Martin. The ratings on my articles speak for themselves, I tend to believe them over your empty claim that 'lots of people are complaining' about my articles. I think you're just upset that you have yet to contribute anything useful. Martin Marvinski wrote: You don’t need to be online 12 hours a day. Programmers Martin, REAL programmers, write code that takes more than 10 seconds to compile. About 90% of my posts are made at work while my code compiles, or something similar.

I should contribute more by posting less to Usenet, and writing less articles ? I take back what I said before - you ARE dumb !!!!

Of course people were always changing global header files (because of the way we had a big list of defines for switching on and off various bits of wip code) so you'd usually end up having to do a full rebuild when ever you grabbed the latest tree from source control!

I bet everyone you know hates your pedantry (and I say that being a pedant myself) Newbies at my office regularly get roasted for stupid grammar (such as inability to understand the usage of apostrophes) when they post questions on the company noticeboard Usually this cartoon gets posted straight afterwards (followed by confusing conversations about what if multiple cats own each others feet which are out of differing bags, whilst someone else will point out that cat's have paw's, not feet, and so it continues) -- Help me!

Luxury. My first job, the code took 45 minutes for a rebuild all :omg: Christian come on all you MS suckups, defend your sugar-daddy now. - Chris Losinger - 11/07/2002

45 minutes? you were lucky We used to have to submit code on punched cards, and get the results back six months later :-D joke probably lost on most people -- Help me! I'm turning into a grapefruit!
