You top-posted. You're making yourself look foolish by trying to
justify it. Top-posting has nothing to do with the date your message
was written or sent.

I use "sic" when I feel that it's needed. And I'm fully aware of what
it means, and when and how to use it.

Does that mean we can now call a truce? Will you stop the name calling
and using terms such as "fuck off and die" now?

I have no interesting in swapping flames with you. As we've
demonstrated I make mistakes and you make mistakes too. And when it
comes to programming there will always be other ways, or better ways, do
achieve an aim.

Pointing these things out and discussing them in a polite way is a good
thing because it increases our knowledge and understand.

But name calling and telling someone to "fuck off and die" have no place
here.
