because I don't get feedback about the implementation of an architecture,
nor regression-tests exists, I should throw away the work.
of course I let it in the library and wait if someone tests it and reports
the bug. otherwise it would be impossible to get any feedback.

after reading the postings of you and other members of your group I must
get the impression you really try to dis me

Please keep in mind that I do this work only in my spare time (beside I've
a family too), I've not the time as you in your daily work at the
university.
And then you and your fellows tell me that I'm to stupid - beside that some
of the criticised issues are questionable - copy-and-paste error happen.
