    Wow thanks for what was effectively part 2 in this spackle 🙂 You've written an article in its own right to answer my question...

    I completely agree. That's one of the best follow-up posts that I've seen in quite a while here.

    Jeff - I would suggest that you take that post, and make it into its own article. It's likely it will be read more than being stuck here in a follow up post on this article (you know how a lot of folks don't read the ensuing discussion), and this point is so valuable to make.

    If you can't explain to another person how the code that you're copying from the internet works, then DON'T USE IT on a production system! After all, you will be the one supporting it!
