I was annoyed, and that was intended to be a little condescending yeah. I'm not going to let someone who goes by the name "CyberDildonics" tell me to be more professional online without being a little bit snarky in response. I hope that isn't against the rules. edit: Looks like it is in fact against the rules, but I think I'm tentatively going to leave the comment up because I did provide a valuable answer to the parent commenter's question. Mods can do what they will of course. :)

I'm mostly just sad you stopped the chain of people calling their parent post "unprofessional". We could have gotten it 4 replies deep!

Ignore the haters here. What you've built is cool and you're rightly proud of it.

Yeah! Super cool feat of engineering accomplished mostly by requiring you to do structured search, if I remember correctly. I never drove with one as they were a bit before my time. I remember them being very fiddly, but that was an observation I made from the back seat of a car as a child so, grain of salt.

I like you. Your style seems great to me. The nit-picker talking about your "lack of professionalism" is not my preferred sort of human to encounter, and I would frankly prefer to hear from their sort much less often. I'd take 10 more ppl like you on this site any day
