My didn't you get up on the wrong side of the bed this morning.
Hmmm, why are you wasting everyone's bandwidth for personal attacks?
I didn't post any code
Did I say you should have? I don't think so.
I didn't see anyone suggest using strict so I added that to the advice given the OP.
Indeed. And that's exactly why I am ranting. Noone else suggested to use strict because that was not relevant to the problem. Noone suggested the OP to not eat uncooked meat that was left in the sun for a few hours either. Should someone have posted that as well? I mean, it's excellent advice, noone suggested that yet, and wouldn't have helped less to solve the OP's problem as your suggestion did.
Also I don't feel that personal attacks on me are warranted.
Personal attacks? My, my. You start off with Also why rant anonomyously?, and I point out that you're as anonymous as I am, and that's suddenly a personal attack? Get off your high horse buddy, you're not interesting enough for a personal attack. But it sure sounds that you got out off the wrong side of the bed.
