This is really the wrong place for this, but since it's here ...

The problem is that that isn't an article. And as I think I said when that appeared in moderation, there isn't anything there as is stands that makes it suitable for publication. There is no download, so talking - however briefly - about the code is a waste of time as we can't see it, much less run it or modify it.
All there is is a vague overview of the project, with no real detail at all - and we can't publish an article on the basis of "I'll make it better later" simply because most people don't come back and improve it! Laugh | :laugh:

Please, look at some of the existing articles here to get an idea of the standard we expect.
Here's one of mine: Using struct and class - what's that all about?[^]
And here's a tip which is a lot more "code focussed": Creating a Simple "scratch card" Control in WinForms[^]

We moderators aren't here to make your life difficult, or to be nasty - quite the reverse, we protect the site from not-ready articles, and authors from the derision and downvotes that poorer articles can receive. And to be a moderator, you have to write articles, so we know what it feels like when you slave away on something and Joe Moron from Stupidity High School, Kansas finds out it's not what he needs to hand in as his homework ... Laugh | :laugh:
If we let this though as it stands, it would - at best - be ignored, and more likely downvoted into oblivion.

I'm sure you have put a lot of effort into getting the code right, but we can't even see it to find out! And articles aren't just about the code: the words are what matters!
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

Were you affected by the geomagnetic storms this past weekend?
Communication disruptions, electrified pipes, random unexplained blue-screens in Windows - the list of effects is terrifying.
