Take a step back and look at the resources you ignored/didn't look for before writing your article; One of cake's core concepts is DRY does that really mean write the same thing 3, 4 or more times and submit it to the bakery? or does it mean use the code that already exists? Noone is unappreciative of the effort that goes into writing an article on the bakery - but especially in this case I think 5 mins looking for code that already does what you submitted could have saved you some effort (and subsequent bad blood from thinking the bakery is some kind of elitist group bent on keeping your work from the world). > > You have all this time to research my IRC chats.

I would have thought this was implied. > Then why should I > care what you have to say.

Let's roll back the clock and pretend someone had written: "Hi Jayesh. Thanks for your submission but I'm afraid it can't be accepted. Your article is too brief and repeats functionality which is already available in the core (nestedList). If you would like to discuss this please ask in the irc channel. We hope that you continue to send submissions to the bakery, and thank you for your efforts. Reviewer" What would have been your response? I anticipate something like you've already said "if it helps one developer ...." to which I'll preemptively counter: well, fine - but how many developers does it hinder to find in the bakery an article which duplicates what the core permits? if it helps one and hinders 1 that means overall it has no benefit - and publishing repetitive/similar code does not hinder one - it hinders many. > > It has nothing to do with my ego.

I can really feel the love in that one, and I think in the first sentence of that you mispelt "everything". > > **All** of you core members, reviewers, moderators have all this time > to to bash me in a public forum just because I complained that my > article was deleted without any comment. And in that aspect you're completely right to have done so - if it happens again (to anyone) I hope you/they let us know a mistake has been made. > But you complain about having > shortage of resources for reviewing articles. > > Accept you all have a serious problem, lose the arrogance. I think there is something positive to be gained from this thread - but the person with the most to gain is not on the bakery moderation team. hth, AD Check out the new CakePHP Questions site http://cakeqs.org and help others with their CakePHP related questions.
