No. I'm implying that you're probably in this instance are swimming against the main current of a corporate policy and therefore wouldn't want to have this episode/request associated with your name. Apart from implying that a colleague wrote bad code and refuses insight in a code review (bad attitude for a professional). However true that might be -- saying it in public in a way that your company might be identified, perhaps even the colleague, that might be taken ill by your employer or your colleague. Or -- why ARE you posting as AC? :-) Regards -- Markus
