I don't really understand why you are reacting like this. I never 
criticize other work, only give my opinion. In my mail, I was just 
trying to remember my math lessons and share them. Hans-Martin answered 
me and I perfectly understood his position and agreed.

In your opinion, people should only write a mail if they are 100% sure 
about what they want to write. I disagree. I think people learn better 
when they made mistakes and those mistakes get corrected by more 
experienced people.

Hans-Martin taught me something and it would not have been the case if I 
had stayed away from my keyboard.

Hope you will allow me to continue writing mails here.
