The missing part is the why. Antoon asks: Why? What is so important about this particular way, that you are willing to spend/waste so much time on it? This question goes completely unnoticed. In the big picture this seems to be the pattern. Nikos asks a question that shows fundamental flaws in his understanding of a problem. People probe to understand what he really wants. He ignores everything except little coding snippets, and requests different choices on and on. Its like a fussy shopper wanting to see endless dresses, and in the end choosing none. I don't think any of Nikos questions have anything to do with finding an answer, because if you dig deeper into the questions they end up being only red herrings. As I pointed out yesterday he still hasn't fixed the fact that his python files on his server are set with permissions to read the code which contains passwords in plain text. That was the big drama from June So, Antoon, I think the question is why are 'we' wasting so much time. Nikos is just the orchestrator. He isn't wasting any time. He isn't doing anything. Here's my question: I wonder if Nikos has ever been employed to write software. If so, I wonder how long he lasted before he was let go. And I feel bad for the guy who had to support his code! -- Joel Goldstick http://joelgoldstick.com
