If you look at the Rep description: http://www.codeproject.com/script/Membership/Reputation.aspx[^] it says:
"Delete entries in Quick Answers: Platinum Author, Authority, Editor or Organiser"
Since you have Platinum Author, you have the right to delete in QA - so comments are fair game.

Fair enough... Just asking to make sure something isn't broke.

I did not report this bug, but I mentioned it in my notes to the editor in the process of submission of this Tips/Tricks article:
Using "using" Statements: DisposalAccumulator[^].
It looks like the bug was fixed by today; if so, I would be just interested in some confirmation.
Here what it was: I was unfortunate enough to add a smile (emoticon) to the epigraph. It was correctly modified into the smile image, but when I edited the text in the WYSIWG (non-HTML) mode, it was represented as some text, which looked as the text data for the HTML processing script. Naturally, its was finally rendered as is, not as the <code><img> tag. During last fixed of the article, I did not see this problem anymore.
Thank you,

Just created an alternative to a blog entry and I was surprised that it appeared as an article. Is this reasonable since the criteria for an article is quite different from a blog entry (at least in my opinion  )

A technical blog must adhere to the same standards as an article. A blog is just an article written in someone's blog, so it doesn't make sense to have an alternative to a blog be another blog, because you haven't actually blogged the alternative - you've posted it as an article.

My brain hurts after trying to read that convoluted statement... although I am tired right nuyl,jvktfykuftkhf
I think computer viruses should count as life. I think it says something about human nature that the only form of life we have created so far is purely destructive. We've created life in our own image.

I glad it wasn't just me, serious bit of wtf going on!

All I got from that were lame justifications.

Really? We can easily make alternatives be blogs, but...but...they aren't blogs. They are articles.
What's your preference?

Let me try again.
We have a bunch of different article "types": Article, Technical Blog, Tip and Video. We suck in the blog postings of members, create them as articles, and mark them as Technical Blogs in order to give the readers a hint that the formatting and layout may be a little odd because it was sucked in from someone's blog feed. "Like" buttons, potentially broken images, references to other blog posts, odd colours in code colourisation etc may be included and may look a little odd, so my hope is that the "Technical Blog" label will allow readers to forgive small transgressions.
But these Technical Blog articles are still articles.
If you create an alternative to a blog article then you're not creating something sucked in from an XML feed. You won't (I hope) include weirdness. Further, and most importantly, your alternative was never posted as a blog that was subsequently sucked in by our blog aggregator. When you post an alternative to a blog you are not posting a blog. You're posting an article that presents an alternative to the blog.
So we label them as Articles.

Made perfect sense the first time, I thought.
One of these days I'm going to think of a really clever signature.

Now when I read my question again I think it needs clarification:
What surprised me was that the alternative was listed as a new article in the CP front page. What I was expecting was that it would have been in the Blogs queue even though it's technically stored as an article (after all it's an alternative to a blog entry).
The other thing was that I feel that the alternative is over valued. Based on on the information about the rep system, a new blog entry is worth 10 points. Now if the alternative is worth 100 points, that doesn't quite make sense.
As a personal opinion I think alternatives (article/blog/tip) are often lighter than the original posts since they can mostly refer to the original text, code etc. So I feel that an alternative should be worth less than the original one, for example 50% of points. So in the case of a blog entry (worth 10 points) the altenative should receive 5 points.
Does that make any sense

Sense, it makes. It does, yes.

The current feature of CP allows us to download the code files one at a time.
If we can have one functionality to download all the code files added to a particular article at one go, then that would be great and it will save our time too...

All articles should contain a link at the beginning that allow you to download the full project source code as a zip file. It is the responsibility of the author to make this available.

We're working on something even more broad ranging than that.
