I get a black screen indicating an error when I try to download the first example zip file from the article "Design Patterns 2 of 3 - Structural Design Patterns" by Robert Kanasz. The name of the zip file is StructuralPatterns_StructuralCodeExamples-noexe.zip- 22.7 KB. Thanks

When someone sends an email through CP, I have to respond from the connected email account, and my email address is no longer a secret (on CP). I suggest that CP allow us to respond through CP so that our own email addresses aren't exposed.
I got an email from a "skip trace" company claiming that someone from my past is looking for me, and part of their email stated that they "couldn't find another email address" for me. I certainly don't want to give them one by responding to that email.

You could forward the email to a one time only Hot Mail account and then respond from there.

It's done like this on purpose. If communication is going to be offline and not subject to moderation, then those sending the emails should be identifiable in order to minimise stalking, abuse, and provide at least a semblance of accountability.

That can be gotten around with a sock puppet account. Seems to me this just reduces legitimate use of the feature by people (like me) who wish to keep their email confidential. If somebody sends me a private message and I don't like it for some reason, perhaps just give me the ability to block further messages from that user?

While your comment "may be the most pertinent, you may or may not realize it is also the most irrelevant."
We're not talking about solving a sock puppet problem. We're talking about respecting confidential information.

Mate, I hope you understand how seriously I take confidential information. I fully understand the issue here, but there are two sides to it, and private messages that the moderators and the community can't see need a different set of rules.
I'm sorry, but I'm not willing to allow spammers and abusers the luxury of sending private messages without recourse.

Why do I have to choose between 'Contractor – I develop software on a contract basis' and 'Professional development – I develop for individual or workgroup use'? These belong in separate questions, not as exclusive choices. I develop software on a contract basis and sometimes this is for individual or workgroup use.

I can't believe that all of my answers and questions are down voted.
It is not fair. many of them had a 5 rating.
It seems someone has searched my name and to this to me. It happens at a second.
What should I do?

It happens - you may have attracted a stalker by annoying someone.
If so, just ignore it - if you bring attention to it, and that it annoys you then that gives them a reason to continue. If they don't see any benefit, then there is no incentive to waste their time.

Probably right!

So on a slightly related note, would you support listing the votes that a member has made?

I'd like to see that downvotes needs to be commented, just like with articles.
|
|
|
|
|
Nah, not for comments. Comments require little to no work or thought to post, as such, voting on them should be the same, I shouldn't have to justify 1-voting a single sentence cr@p post. Articles, in theory, require much more work, thought, and time. Therefore, I think requiring a comment for down voting on articles is justified.

I am all for showing votes, if not showing who voted then at least being able to see how someone votes. Egg: Tom votes 10% down and 90% up, Dick is 50:50 guy and Harry is 90% down votes. I'm sorry, but I reckon Harry is Troll Voter in this little scenario.
I also suggested before that we have an 'allow public voting' option; a 'I'll show you mine if you show me yours' type thing. Anyone can permit their votes to be viewed, and by doing so can view who voted for them.

I don't think CP should out-and-out show everyone's voting, as I think it could possibly cause more harm than good with tit-for-tat voting. As it is, if people want to be known for a vote (your opt-in idea), they usually leave a reply of 'My vote of 5', or 'My vote of 1'. However, I really like the voting trend idea, showing how they vote on average.

Voting trends probably won't show what people think they will show. Even those who have targeted a given member often vote other members up in the same breath.
