If you can't explain to another person how the code that you're copying from the internet works, then DON'T USE IT on a production system! After all, you will be the one supporting it!

Could be she wanted to tell specific people before announcing it to the world. I know that none of her friends come here so I was safe telling others when I found out after getting home from officiating a high school game.

Anyone else noticed the frenzy of poor advice recently? Moderately aggravating.

Yes, I have. I just hope I haven't been a party to some of it myself. 😉

Not that I've noticed - and seems unlikely. I emphasised the word frenzy for a reason, though...saying no more 😎

It's not that I mind people having a go - that's great! It just irks me when the post sounds so authoritative, when it is clearly a pile of fetid dingo's kidneys.

Now you have it! Though, to be fair, that thread is not the best example...not by a long way.

":hehe:" really grates on me now. (Bridge construction in progress.)

Hey Congrats Lynn... 🙂

About setting up a meeting place, I had one place in mind where you walk 100 mts from the meeting place, you go right to the beach. And there are three hotels right beside the meeting place. All have their own beach and not so costly.. 🙂

I am still checking if it will be possible to do the event.

Jason must not be paying attention. I thought George was asking a serious question. (To segue from Gails post.)
I 'complained' about people repeating my posts word for word, so George repeats the complaint word for word.

Well, all of my plagiarism is completely original! 😀
