Re: Re: chomp any data structure recursively

I tracked this thread for a while. merlyn incorrectly calls posted code buggy and supplies replacement code that is buggy and his node gets voted to +6. He doesn't update his node to acknowledge either mistake when it is pointed out and his node still climbs 3 more points to +9 after both errors were pointed out in followups. Now that's what I call personality voting!

Well, then, he doesn't deserve a best node of the day award for this one, but to be fair, he did acknowlege one (update: now both) of his mistakes, and all I did was take his idea and "fix" it (update: and gbarr just blew mine away :), so although it was buggy starting out, it was an interesting idea to begin with, and I don't begrudge him a few XP for that (as if I cared seriously about XP at all)... If someone posts a "you blew it" reply, I'd expect a followup "Hey, you're right" and maybe a fix (depending on time available -- many of us are busy, you know), but if someone (e.g., me) posts a fix, then what's the point in replying to that, especially if you're busy?
