May 9 at 9:08 comment added user1018684 :-) , start to understand more, nice not to be alone in irritations. If one looks on the system from outside, a new user, he's mostly told "investigate yourself as good as you can", "clearly present the issue", "don't bother us with unnecessary things", "give full system description", but some sites are different, and it's much! work to elaborate, and remember the idiosyncrasies for multiple of them. Esp. to decide between "site rules" and deviating single users preferences. IMHO some tolerance that users can't provide "best questions" would be meaningful over too much nitpicking.
May 9 at 8:46 comment added Mast Mod @user1018684 I can not tell from here whether you stripped relevant or irrelevant code away, I'm just going by what you've told us. If you've only removed dead code, that's code that should never have been there to begin with. Naturally, that is not a problem. However, when people start talking about stripping code to a short reproducible case they often mean something along the lines of an MRE (sometimes known as MCVE). While Stack Overflow loves those, Code Review does not handle them well. The difference often trips people up.
May 9 at 3:48 comment added user1018684 hi, thank you, that sheds some light, however ... The real project has some thousands line of code which seems impractical to me to post in any forum. The spin-off to dig down wasn't made for CR only, but for my analysis so that was / is a separate self contained project. The extra effort for CR was to arrange nicely and strip - most of - unused code which I normally keep as reference, but was criticized in former questions. I understand "from a project" as "from", not as "full" ... wrong? And understand "not hypothetical" as it runs and works, not as "the complete project" - wrong?
