From the safety of anonymity, it is easy to cast aspersions. This code does not "suck," as you so elegantly put it.
Perhaps this metaphor will elucidate my position as stated in the last sentence. When flying an airplane, there are two kinds of landings. Any landing you can walk away from is a good one. Likewise, any code that runs is in some wise also "good."
I agree with the initial poster (see below). Voting down without explanation or simply stating "it sucks" without further justification of your point of view helps no one; indeed it makes the one who cried "suck" look even less intelligent. If you have reasons for your feeble objection to cciulla's post, share them. If not, everyone here would be better off, including you.
