...I'm strongly behind this position as clarified here.

I think posting the final version would have been much more appropriate, then the link would have provided 'extra bonus material' for anyone interested.

Certainly a blind policy of downvoting anything that links to an offsite resource would be negative. There are many good reasons that offsite links would be appropriate.

It sounds like there might have been some other issues but those seem to have been worked out.

Add kudos to you DaWolf for bringing up community.

And thanks to all here for demonstrating it. (A revised and clarified position, a new post with the cleaner access to the code, and the general sense that we should do whatever seems most reasonable to us, as long as we're willing to occasionally reconsider our definition of reasonable. I'm in!)
