in reply to Some advice on another's scripts

As the author in question (grimace), I feel obligated to respond.

I do want to correct what I perceive to be a misunderstanding of my intent, when Mr. Muskrat states:

"Now that he has told me that he does not want to fix his code until he is ready, what should I do? Have I done enough by letting him know? Or should I post his URL as a warning to others? "

I don't think I meant "I'm not going to fix it until I'm good and ready and to heck with the consequences." I'm very concerned about the viability of my scripts. If there's a serious and urgent flaw, I want to fix them immediately.

I do, however, have to schedule things, since I have a day job.

I responded to your email immediately, Mr. Muskrat, because I AM concerned. In fact, based on your email, I immediately posted a page at:

http://worldcommunity.com/opensource/programming.methods.html

My goal is to become a better and better programmer. As a working programmer, the last thing I want is to be considered a 'hack'. I profoundly appreciate everyone's advice, and will do my best to improve.

Oh... and in response to a post above about html templates -- FutureSQL is built around an extensive template system, so that the code is separated from the html.

Thanks :-)
