Erik, in our company culture, and also at university, it is part of the game that solutions are questioned and challenged by other solutions, in order to end up with the best solution. This does not at all imply that a solution is invalid, simple, stupid, and wasn't any effort to build. > So I get on the defensive and try to educate people that > I'm not making stuff up but actually think about and research stuff > before I start. And I get carried away as well. No-one is saying you didn't research, or you did a bad job. Again, I respect your solution and find it completely valid. But no single person can know and consider everything. That's why we work in a community. At least that's what I thought communities are for. So please don't take my criticism so personally. What I mainly criticize are some of Google Closure's concepts, so there is really no reason to take that personally, unless you work for Google and invented Closure. Peace? -Frank-
