If you cannot be bothered to actually post your code, why should we

Sorry but I have think that long code can be a problem in newsgroups.
Long code is a problem anyway... the Posting Guidelines give guidance as
to providing the best means of receiving help.
Besides that, posting the code to the newsgroup is much less of a problem
than putting it on a web site.
- People need to start a browser to view the code instead of just
reading it in context with the problem.
- Answers relating to the code are not very meaningful unless those
reading the follow-ups also go to the effort of visiting the web page.
Which manages to destroy guidelines about posting replies in context
unless the replier is willing to cut and paste.
- The web page will no doubt be ephemeral and thus the archives of the
group will contain posts with little meaning since essential
information is lacking (the same as posting material with an
X-No-Archive header).
- In general it just involves a great deal more work for everyone with
no gain whatsoever.
Sorry to go on at length, but it is something which does annoy me... you
are certainly not the only person to do this and doubtless will not be
the last.
