Was it a strip on the site? The only result for "collectimizer" was this one[^].

Why, oh why, oh why...
... Do I not follow my own advice and use Google first?
A very quick Google image search found it first time!

Reluctantly I posted a C# question in the C# forum. I wonder if there is an answer to be found? To be honest, I believe that if I get anything it will be merely links to the LINQ answer which I specifically asked not to receive.
yes, this is a blatant promotion for a programming question I asked in the C# forum. Down vote at will : )

I was tempted to reply with "Use LINQ" but found an alternate target for my day before the holiday boredom. 
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Doesn't look like a C# question. Is there a Mongo forum? 
You'll never get very far if all you do is follow instructions.

|

Unfortunately, it is a C# question since I can do it in Mongo just fine : (, it is specifically the C# library itself.

My wife just sent me a text picture of her legs - she picked blackberries in shorts.
Her pain is worth my gain - I do love fresh blackberries!

Grief!
They are early - ours are still tiny and green. The raspberries the same.
The wild and cultivated strawberries are doing very well - those that haven't been eaten, that is...

My strawberries were fantastic but sadly all are eaten.
I'm taking a huge gamble that none of this is meant as a euphemism...

The cultivated strawberries are almost gone - there are a few left still ripening, but they are pretty much over - but the wild version are going crazy this year, the whole garden smells of strawberries! Pity they are so small, but at least they have flavour (unlike some of the supermarket ones)

I took a huge punt on global warming and planted sweetcorn (in Dublin) - you'll probably be glad to know it has not worked.
(The potatoes are doing fine though)

Our blackberries don't turn up until September, but we've already had a good batch of raspberries.
And we had a bazillion blueberries -- until the fruggin' thrushes ate the bluddy lot!

I got a pair of gooseberry bushes ten years ago - I love gooseberries - and every year it's the same thing: loads of leaves, reasonable amount of fruit, and a couple of days before it's ripe some damn Gooseberry Sawfly bursts into life and strips the whole bush down to sticks in a morning. I've had exactly two fruits from the spiky monsters!

My goosegog bush is showing a good lot of fruit for the first time, this year (it's been there for three).
Forewarned is forearmed; I'll set up gun emplacements around it.

Blackberry cobbler on a cold autumn day, awesome!
As I grow older I've found that pleasing everyone is impossible but pissing everyone off is a piece of cake.

You eat shoemakers in the colonies?
I thought you'd progressed beyond cannibalism.
I have no idea what a cobbler is in the culinary world, and I'm far, far too lazy to Google it, when I can settle for just making a pie.
