How to Build a Regex Engine in C#[^]
This was a monumental endeavor. Everything (on the latest as of yet unapproved version, but it is on GitHub) is doc commented even - which took forever.
This is the biggest project i've submitted to code project aside from Pck[^]
The article itself is the longest i have submitted i think. It took me days to write.
But I made 52k of C# source code and wrote the article in a couple of days. 
When I was growin' up, I was the smartest kid I knew. Maybe that was just because I didn't know that many kids. All I know is now I feel the opposite.

Even I appreciate your very professional articles very much; this here smells as advertisement for what other users have been scourged in the past here 
It does not solve my Problem, but it answers my question

I've posted stuff like this before without any complaints. Besides the point of it is the sense of accomplishment, not the plug for the article.

Self-promotion of a CodeProject article in the Lounge; something we had many of and which is not forbidden.
Advertisement it's not, he's not selling it nor promoting a company. It also doesn't compete with the ads on CodeProject, so I don't see the problem.
Care to explain why you are against it, besides that "it happened in the past"?

Your colleague has a 10% chance of being right. Not overly great odds, but I've seen worse.

I think I would agree with your colleague... in a way. But I would have to translate the statement to it's real meaning first...
90% is a pretty common go-to number when you are trying to say "a lot of" in percentage form. Give it a try and run a few fake conversations through your mind. If you want to say a lot, you will probably pick 90% (or maybe 99% if you REALLY want to emphasis a lot). So we easily translate that to "a lot".
Then take "the internet", in general conversation people are not really referring to the exact definition of the internet in terms of "a global system of interconnected computer networks" (wiki steal). Most the time we just mean "the stuff we do online". For example, reading news, or socialising in forums, etc. But it varies from person to person. One person might be a Facebook fanatic, another only reads articles on trusted news sites. So "the internet" can mean different things to different people.
So I think what is really being said is:
A lot of the stuff I see on the internet is wrong
...and to that I would have to agree. There is so much crap that people make up and post as facts, and people just believe it. Social media has brought us a world where people can say whatever they want, and not have to provide proof that it is real. It doesn't matter that 10% (a few) of people call them out on it, because the 90% (a lot) of people that believe it is a pretty good result.
