Well, if you could explain a) how it's currently broken, and b) how a
'corrected' version would be useful, others might be more sympathetic
to your concerns. From most perspectives, it doesn't appear broken at
all; it works fine, it's just not what you would have done.

No. But it's basic tact and consideration to fully explain oneself if

I somehow get the feeling that few people have anything to tell you
that you're willing to listen to.
