How is any of this relevant to anything that has been posted in this thread? An SSCCE example was provided, these comments are regarding something unrelated to the GD issue in question. The expectation that you should be able to provide a short example that illustrates what you're having problems with is reasonable.

"Don't we encourage people to show their source around here?"

You have just complained about being asked to provide your source code for something you're having problems with. If providing this and example source data (regardless of data type, e.g. a URL for an example image) is something you consider not worth writing up that's more of an issue for you, perhaps you don't fully understand the reasons why SSCCEs are preferable and more likely to get the help you are looking for.

Update: Fixed typo.
