First of all, I didn't "question" aku saya's code snippet, but I "asked
a question" concerning it. According to my dictionary, this is something
different.

This is a mailing list concerning Euphoria or closely-related issues.
Aku saya posted a code snippet, and I thought it might contain a source
of a bug, that could lead to corruption of the stack (which actually is
a technical problem, believe it or not).

I don't have the slightest idea, why you think it wasn't appropriate
that I mentioned it, and what your "lessons" about capitalism and such
have got to do with my question or the question of the original poster
of this thread.

Have you read a good program lately?
