Re^4: Count in intervals -- PM policy

I agree with your sentiments about the nature of the OP.

However, suggesting Iterator to someone who's struggling with while and grep is, to my mind, like saying "Problems? Try a fork instead." Now there is one more problem.

Also note that rkk has 10 writeups on the monastery. Judging by the OP and 10 writeups, I'd venture that Iterator might as well be Klingon, for all the good it does for the OP.

Yes, providing a one-shot complete answer to posts such as rkk's probably isn't the best way to bring people like rkk up to speed here. Neither is providing "help" that isn't.

Good help is hard to come by, especially when improper considerations are provided. Also, GIGO.	[reply]

Perhaps you would like to explain the relevance of a link to the OP that's labeled "improper considerations" ...or is this mere spew? Please say what you mean. I know, I know. Don't feed the trolls... but I do really wonder about the link (and only a little less so, about the other two clauses. Of course, we'll never know if the same Anonymonk made the subject noder or any particular reply.	[reply] [d/l]
