I don't mean to come off like a hard case, and I may well be wrong but...

This whole line of questioning has that "homework assignment" smell to it.
The initial question was _highly_ school-related:

> I need to have some template doing the jobs of an

The utter lack of background detail leads me to believe that this is just a
toy problem... a homework assignment.  And then there's the yahoo email
address... most proffesional programmers have @mybusiness addresses, though
that doesn't mean everyone here is a proffesional.

Oh, and the final bit of oddness:
> Why don't I write it myself? Simply, because I want to
> optimise the time!

How is waiting a week or so for some mailing list to hand you an answer
"optimizing the time"?

This has just been bothering me, I felt the need to speak out.  If I'm
wrong, then I offer my heartfelt appoligies.

This may be what Mr. Hyslop was trying to dig at, I'm just not a patient or
subtle person.  And I don't mind appologizing for my mistakes (lots of
practice, as you might imaging with this sort of behavior).
