@200_success for me it wasn't a matter of, if it compile. I don't often actually run the code that I review, so it wouldn't have affected me.
I voted to open that question up, because the original post didn't have any code in it, just a general explaination of how his process worked. But he updated it with what appears to be real code.
When questions are closed for not having working code, that is usually why the user posts the question, because they are looking to have their code fixed syntactically. It didn't not appear to be the case here
