  16. Critical review is only insulting if the submitter has an ego problem.

  18. Some of us WELCOME critical review of our software.  If what you meant
  19. instead is "don't insult the software developer by nit-picking her/his
  20. work." then you may be onto something.  But a REASONABLE individual
  21. should welcome CONSTRUCTIVE comments.  Not everyone is the perfect
  22. programmer.
