Responding to: ???'s previous message

Try to understand my point-of-view, as I try do understand yours.

You have much experience in your job, but your technical discussion does seldom show any concrete points, it's only global explanations, beating around the bush.

This looks like a code snippet:
http://www.8052.com/forum/read/162780

The reason for this debate is that you constantly bring up the statement that people are not receiving any help.

And you don't back that with examples.

And you get links showing threads where the person is receiving exactly the kind of help you are requesting.

People are constantly getting help. But the quality of the help is very much depending on the quality of the information from the requester. This specific thread needed 18 days until one important fact arrived:
http://www.8052.com/forum/thread/168316

During these 18 days, the OP received a lot of help that wasn't relevant just because it wasn't possible to guess the real requirements. Or the already available tools for implementing a solution.

Per said:
If the second post in a thread is 100 lines of working code (complete with #include, declarations, main() etc) then there would not be any debate about timer overflows, signed/unsigned integers, bit variables instead of char or int etc.

Do you mean me by this?

I meant exactly what I wrote. A too explicit copy/paste example would stop your requested sharing of information without any real knowledge having been shared. The OP would go away with a piece of code he/she doesn't understand and doesn't know how to adapt.
