Rik brought up valid points. Your code formatting sucks.

As for why do I care? When you post this crappy junk in the forum, you
expect everyone else to decode it for you?

I personally don't care what you do with code only you will see. But in
my 40 years of programming, I've never been able to say "No one else
will see this code".

Your formatting is that of a lazy bum - and your attitude is even worse.
When I find someone like you on one of my projects he's gone before he
can hit "Enter".

You want help here? I suggest you change your attitude and start
formatting code so it's readable.
