If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the Universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots. So far, the Universe is winning

I think the user will spam soon, company name as nick and created today... well it is very probable, but yet, I don't think he is to be reported yet.

Only that post and although the question is two years old, it is still in the first page of the forum. If one doesn't pay attention then one could just read the questions without noticing the time stamp (it has already happened to me too)

I even find the answer useful to a certain point and related to the question and has no links anywhere (I edited the message to see the "code")

What about waiting a bit before nuking?
