Waking from sleep

[Jon Skeet [C# MVP]]

Without attempting to appear pedantic, I can't see where I recommended
anything.

Well, that's literally true.

I merely demonstrated ONE way of doing something. At the same time I also
said, although I failed to eleborate, that there were other ways of doing
it, but I certainly did not recommend using any particular methodology.

We all know that the framework often provides us with a number of similar
methods for doing the same thing and that while one method is quite suitable
in a certain scenario, another method is better suited to a different
scenario.

We also know that everybody has their own view of what works best for them
in certain situations, and, although I don't always succeed, I do try to not
present an idea, air-code or whatever as the only way of doing something or
even the best way, but rather in a way that demonstrates the point I am
attempting to make at the time.

I think it's worth being aware that when you go into reasonable detail
about one way of doing something and say that there are others but that
they have higher degrees of complexity, that can *come over* as a
recommendation even if it's not meant to - particularly if you don't
point out any downsides to the way you do show.

That comment isn't just aimed at you, by the way - it's aimed quite
squarely in the mirror too, if you see what I mean.

Fair enough Jon
