Which you are, since you removed a large part of my answer and then used it to claim that my answer was unhelpful. Hint: read all of what I wrote. | Ciaran's analogies are always outrageous, condescending and greatly | accentuated. And a lot of people find them a pleasant change from the usual lack of style and humour exhibited on this list. Effective technical writing does not have to be boring. | Specifically, his intention is never to help the person | he is replying to, but rather to show them that they are wrong. The person is irrelevant. What matters is whether someone looks at a proposed incorrect solution and uses it. | He believes that is purely up to the person that he is replying to | whether they learn from it or not. Well yes. What is this, nursery school? | discussing it further won't help any. But you still felt the need to try to throw in a cheap shot full of personal attacks.
