I would do the same as Ruben. When I contribute help on a public mailing
list, my message is not directed at the individual who asked, but to
every potential reader, current or future.

Whenever you post an incorrect piece of code, think that all sorts of
users will read your message, including newbies that can "learn" by
reading your posts. Hence, Ruben is counterbalancing your misinformation
:-)
