>I spend a lot less time here now, following the amount of abuse I received from one MVP for pointing out a potential serious fault with a piece of code he posted. It was a routine that checked validity of filenames, the typo's I could live with, but it had the possible side-effect of deleting any existing file with the same name. I thought this was serious enough to warn the recipient about. The amount of abuse I received was intolerable - and I see the particular MVP is still about & boasting about upsetting people (Ed Rauh, if you couldn't guess).
I found the message I believe you are referring to. If this is incorrect, please let me know:
"Once you've sorted out the deliberate errors in the above code"
Yeah, who could possibly be upset when you accuse them of deliberately putting errors in the code?
