I suggest you read this....... tell me ehy my simple statement has caused you so much personal grief. Wow you really live in a asmall world if my observation has caused you so much bitterness. Prat
No as a matter of fact it is not. None of your posts allow for the possibility that your attitude is part of the problem. Most of us are well aware of the issues that you raised but you refuse to understand how things work in the real world. You do not for a minute allow for the possibility that the author that wrote some offending article does not have that particular email address and is not getting the notifications on his article, that maybe they have a real job, they are not interested in programming anymore and just don't want to take the time to get back into it. There are all kinds of reasons that authors are not responding to you but, according to you, they should be monitoring the internet 24/7 in case someone had a question?

maybe there is a point here

I have not yet found a reply to anything you said that indicated that you do not have a point. What I have seen is people making futile attempts to explain to you how this and other site work. What I have not seen is anything from you proposing a solution to whatever it is that you are looking for. Your wanting to make authors conform to some standard is all well and good but how are you going to enforce that? There are many, many, many people out there that throw articles together just so they can brag that they wrote an article. What should we do with them? Should we make everyone have an internet posting license? What you are apparently hoping for is some revolution of righteous indignation that people that post articles on the internet are not policed and that everyone will drop everything that they are doing to fix the internet. The people that run this site are doing the best that they can. Nowhere did I see you volunteering to correct all of the mistakes that you have found as an unpaid tester, editor, proofreader.

Are there problem with articles? Yes. Are the authors human? Yes. Will there be mistakes? Yes. What exactly you have us do? You are mistakenly expecting non-professional authors to write articles as if they know exactly what you are looking for and write it such that you can understand it. I have a real job that pays me real money. If I am going to spend my time policing articles then I can't do my real job. How will I pay my bills then?
