To me that's a really strange mindset.
But back on topic; glad Andrew has a working solution.
To me it's not so strange... I personally wouldn't give a kudo to the person that doesn't need it or that don't want to accept it... Said that, in my case and to me, and for anyone that sees something by accepting gratitude for a good job/code the most important thing is to have a wish for doing job correctly with or without appreciation for gained results... So if you don't have a wish, then you shouldn't expect to get a credit for just commenting or talking, explaining or trying to explain things... It is really simple thing : if you ask for something, only then you may count that you can get what you asked for and if you are only silenced and don't mind for things that are happening, then why would you be in someones attention or expect appreciation - even worse you'll be ignored and gain negative influence... I don't see anything bad that I spent some more time by creating "hostage" code that may or may not help me or someone in the future that is in situation to use it... It's just the thing that intellectual property can and is being abused and used in the ways that is not acceptable for the owner/author... Where are there appreciations for author/s when someone can freely sell or gain for stolen/borrowed material glory that is not his own... I can post what is good, but for what - for fun or helping in bigger job done or making happier someones feelings certainly is not good thing... Even when author gets credits, his material is already subject of using and abusing his achievements, making him just another fool and sick minded person automatically disrespecting him as an originate creator of solution of that actual problem...
