Speaking for myself, I am criticizing marnen's obnoxious and
judgmental posts. A post such as yours that takes the time to explain
to a poster why one approach is favored over another is welcome,
"that's bad" is simply an unsubstantiated opinion. If he's not going
to provide assistance, he should either keep his mouth shut or be
ready to be chastised / derided in the same manner he treats others.
