I would rather depend on my own bugs, instead of someone else's bugs
Then I would rather that you not post your buggy code here, especially when a much simpler solution is available. You are needlessly reinventing the wheel. It's fine if you want to do that in the privacy of your own cube, but a bit distracting for the community at large if you do it in public.
