@ChrisF would you mind taking a look at the question we spoke about yesterday? programmers.stackexchange.com/questions/156336/…
I re-read it today as sort of self-review, fells OK, or, more precisely, almost OK. There is a sentence that sounds slippery despite the small font: "To me, approach with entry point in constructor seems more natural." To stand on a safer side, I tend to shift it closer to bottom, under "background" to indicate it's not the part of the question - or maybe even wipe out completely.

@gnat Sorry - completely forgot about that.
OK reopened. If you think there's stuff that isn't necessary to the question then please do edit it out.

However, if it gets closed again I won't reopen it.

sure! @ChrisF does it make sense to add "we're looking for the long answers..." protection to it? I asked about it in my first flag on the question but it has been edited after that

Blog - Stack Exchange: Kicking off the Summer of Love
Joel Spolsky on July 20, 2012

It’s summer here at StackHQ. Have a flower!

You’re welcome. Now on to some serious work. Can we talk about cultural anthropology for a minute? I’d like to talk about what happens when a community (online or off) gets to be about… oh, three or four years old.

Every community starts out needing to recruit members, so they tend to be very friendly to newcomers.

After a few years, an insider group of old-timers forms. They get to know each other. They know the rules. They know the history and the legends of the community. And it’s only natural to get little bit irritated when newbies show up who don’t know the rules. …
