Re**2: Help with the concept of closures.

merlyn, while I can appreciate tersity in many cases, this is not one. I really wish you had at least spent the effort on a list of tie-ins to your linked document -- but that's just me. broquaint also offered a plug, but then he continued to fullfill the OP's request. Even a quick three sentence tie-in to your document would have been good. Closures are a hard concept for many. Also, I would have at least included a positive emoticon of some sort to reduce the condescendive tone of the reply.

But that's just me. I am aware that you are probably a busy person.

P.S.: I am also curious about why you use the • entity...

Why does he need to write a list of tie ins? It's an article about closures (among other things). That seems fairly self explanatory to me. Should he copy and paste the entire column? Whats the point? Should he copy random parts of it? Of course closures are a fairly difficult subject.. what does that have to do with merlyn writing a column on it? I doubt he writes columns on boring, easy mundane things. How does "I have a column on it" Sound even remotely condescending to you? It's just like saying "well, heres a good book about the subject" or "This is a good reference on X".	[reply]
