| Aug 6, 2012 at 15:17 | comment | added | Henk Langeveld | I'd like to start a campaign to get people to take another look at their code snippets before they post. I lurked for a year until I started answering more questions. many of the questions that I answered this week were obvious once I reformatted their code samples. | |

But for the answers I get (quickly) I'm happy to fix this stuff as a return favour. It's why we have edit buttons, it's how we try and maintain quality. | |
