Next time someone is asking a question in a forum or a groups, you
have 2 solutions:
- You answer the question,
- You don't anwser the question.

If you choose to answer the question, which is noble from you to want
to help other persons, and which is by the way one of the 2 reasons
you are reading groups, you should put arrogance aside, and be
pragmatic in your answer (telling someone to post elsewhere is ok
since you also provide to his answer a trial to an adequate solution).

You will avoid answers like "What does this have to do with PHP? And
if you're planning to say
something like, "I'm using PHP to generate the HTML and Javascript"
don't even bother -- that's not the right answer.". This is NOT
constructive, and a bit insulting.

Respect these principle would have save this whole pointless
conversation, in which, i believe Tom might have think with reason:
"why the hell am i doing here?"

Additionaly and to my own concern, when i ask someone for his opinion
about something i've done, I except a few things:
First, that he respects my work and the principles i'm using to
achieve it. Like i said before there not only one good solution but
plenty of them depending on situations. Second, that the answer given
to my questions are arrogance free, so that i do not feel like a
complete idiot. And finally that the comments and advise that are
given remain as is, and free of subjective argumentation, which means,
avoid things like: "this sucks" or "this is not impressive".

By posting here, i was seeking for professional advise on my work. You
could have answered or not. Someone like Rik Rasmus decided to answer
me, regardless all principle declared before, which shows a complete
disrespect for other people's work. Someone like Rik Rasmus, in my
understanding, doesn't need apologies, and need to present some!

(sorry if i use someone else's post to answer part of my own concerns)
