I think some people may be a little too impressed with themselves.

I know I shouldn't take the bait, but I think you're reading way too much into this thread.

It's a simple fact that if you post something inaccurate or unclear on a technical forum such as this one, it will likely be questioned or corrected. It's happened to me, and I'd venture to say it's happened at one time or another to most of the people who post here with any regularity (with a few possible exceptions ;).

In any case, there's really no point in getting bent out of shape about it.

He's not trolling, he's just a bit shocked that you guys have taken it to this level. Unfortunately the safest way to deal with people not understanding what you're trying to say, or taking issue with minor ambiguity on this forum is to NOT keep replying.

It's quite similar with grammar naziism in English. It's not productive to get in an argument about simple oversight.

I read his first post and immediately knew what he was talking about. I wager that anyone familiar enough with C++ to ask about composite construction would understand pretty quickly, too.

Good call.
