> You yourself just said these crappy commands were good, as a purely unfounded assertion. They are great because you just say they are great. That is even less objective than my rant. I at least explained what exactly I find so bad. Tell me more about not emotive.

Very well: I didn't say the commands were good or great. If you attempt a little objectivity you'll see it.



If you attempt a little objectivity, you will see that addressing the answers (vs the commands) was in my first response.

Before even going into the nature of the commands, I said that the answer does not match the question. The answers addressed details, while the details in the question were merely examples.

Missing the point is actually merely one of the at least two dimensions along which the answers suck. Thank you for reminding me about that.


> The answers addressed details, while the details in the question were merely examples.

No, the answers addressed the two scenarios in the question. That's why they don't "SUCK". They are good answers to the question as asked, and not the question as you dreamed it. If you spent ten words on asking the question of your dreams, rather than having a go at people for not answering it (whatever it is), you might have an answer.
