Hello there!

Another lost sheep reporting in.

My work and family don't leave me a lot of time to spend on this site, but it's unique concept and community will always be one of my favourites!  :Thmbsup:

This is my last reply to this thread, because it is utterly absurd the reactions I get. I always thought DonationCoder was a friendly forum, where people are able to discuss something rationally, but I guess I was wrong. I just want to point out once more, that I was only giving advice, I wasn´t claiming anything from authority, nor was I trying to be rude and I most certainly don´t think anything I said was uncalled for or directly aimed at a person or his/her skills.

@IainB: Throwing around some fancy words and Latin phrases makes you neither an authority, nor an intelligent person. On the contrary, your complete post is exactly all the things you accuse someone else of in it. Wanna-be-psychologist, much?

Like I said, I was just trying to give a tip on good practice in coding.

Please explain to me how the code would work correctly, even if variable data types are allowed. What is the outcome of mySerial += myFactor when mySerial is something like "000001" (a string). I would be very surprised if you claimed it would equal 3 (integer).

Anyway, I wasn´t trying to step on any one´s toes here. Keep up the bad practice if you like!  :Thmbsup:
