Around the same time you made this reply, you claimed:

I choose to spend my time striving to assist that person
It was this implausible claim that provoked me to call you out for posting a meandering five-paragraph "opinion" piece that could not possibly help the OP solve his problem.

Note that BrowserUk went the extra mile to actually help the OP by predicting the root cause of his error -- even though the OP did not post sufficient code! And davido clearly and succinctly described what caused the OP's problem and showed how it should be written. Both these nodes (deservedly) have 40+ reputation, while yours is at the other end of the scale.

Instead of exhorting other monks to "constructively answer other people’s questions", I suggest you reflect on why the BrowserUk and davido replies earned a node reputation more than 50 points higher than yours in this specific case and learn from it.
