doesn't help anyone and keeps those needlessly busy who aim for high information quality on this site
Lanx that is a perfect description of the majority of your voluminous bloviating on this site, be it:
- half-baked Emacs thought experiments
- three-line debugger "demonstrations"
- fragments of computer theory thrown out with "I don't have time to test now" disclaimers
- riffs on world history or whatever other off-topic topic arises at the nether regions of threads
- ...
Besides, who made you the arbiter of how serious a tone a poster must use in a discussion on this discussion site? You of all people, whose 'jokes' posted outnumber working programs posted by orders of magnitude?
Hope this helps!
The way forward always starts with a minimal test.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
