Mine didn't arrive until 3 hours after OG's post! What makes you so special?

I don't know. I always get them at around 06:00 UTC (give or take a few minutes)

Hmmm. I get mine at 6am EST/EDT (as appropriate). I wonder if someone is being clever and trying to deliver them all at subscribers local times. Using the timezone set in our profiles perhaps?
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?

Why is it that when a developer posts a question or comment on some forum (here, but especially elsewhere) and uses a deliberately trivial example to illustrate a point, there seems to always be at least one commenter who ignores the question/answer and deconstructs the trivial code? Sometimes at great length. Unfortunately the thread often ends up being about this criticism, not the original question.
In a related vein, when someone has a specific question about a library, someone always seem to suggest an alternate library. I prefer STL over most of MFC, but if someone asks about, say, MFC CString, it's quite annoying to see someone harping that "you should be using std::string." (It's all the more annoying when the snide comment doesn't actually solve the problem at all since the feature isn't supported in the alternate suggestion. the worse are those who say "use boost" for everything, when they have no understanding of the petitioners constraints and/or there are superior alternate solutions.)
EDIT: I vented now because someone on a different forum just did this to me, however it's very aggravating to google a problem, click on what you think is an answer only to find it a long irrelevant discussion with the original question still unanswered (I'm looking mainly at you, stack overflow.)

On a serious note... I think it's great that in Q/A here on CP we can (though getting people to do it is another matter) segregate these concerns (as Comments) from actual helpful answers.

Comment se fait-il que quand un développeur poste une question ou un commentaire sur certains forum (ici mais surtout ailleurs) et utilise un exemple délibérément trivial pour illustrer un point, il semble toujours au moins un intervenant qui ne tient pas compte de la question/réponse et déconstruit le code trivial ? Parfois longuement. Malheureusement le fil finit souvent être sur cette critique, pas à la question initiale.
Dans une veine connexe, quand quelqu'un a une question précise sur une bibliothèque, une personne toujours semblent suggérer une bibliothèque de remplacement. Je préfère la STL dans la majeure partie des MFC, mais si quelqu'un pose des questions sur, dire, CString MFC, c'est assez gênant de voir quelqu'un rabâcher que "you doit utiliser std::string. " (c'est ennuyeux surtout quand le commentaire sarcastique ne résout en fait tout le problème étant donné que la fonctionnalité n'est pas prise en charge dans la suggestion remplaçant. le pire est ceux qui disent "use boost"pour tout quand ils n'ont aucune compréhension des contraintes pétitionnaires ou il y a des solutions de rechange supérieures.)
EDIT : J'ai purgé maintenant parce que quelqu'un sur un autre forum cela ne me, mais il est très aggravant à google un problème, cliquez sur ce que vous pensez, c'est une réponse seulement à trouver un débat long sans rapport avec la question initiale toujours sans réponse (je cherche principalement à vous, débordement de pile).

Fine, I hear your vent, and my ears are still okay, and true 'tis that suffering shared may be suffering diluted; but, if you are venting re StackOverFlow, why not post your thoughts on their 'Meta forum ?
cheers, Bill
