:::::: No, it's not that you guessed wrong (and created a strawman argument), but that you characterized my opinions either as ridiculous and/or that I couldn't tell if my (output) count was different than another's. (I obviously did know the difference). It was your pejorative statements and name calling that caused me "to get all bent" as you characterized it. I'd like this jabbing to stop, as it doesn't reflect well on Rosetta Code to shoot the messenger. This matters to me and it's not just crap (your word). We should be able to discuss topics freely without this kind of thing. I had opened this discussion page with the intent to make aware that most computer programs ''seemed'' incorrect at that time (as they didn't take into account ''straddled'' sexy primes as far as I could discern). -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] ([[User talk:Gerard Schildberger|talk]]) 16:12, 6 October 2018 (UTC)
:::::::'''"I had opened this discussion page with the intent to make aware that most computer programs seemed incorrect at that time (as they didn't take into account straddled sexy primes as far as I could discern)'''" And I agreed and promptly changed the task to make that shortcoming obvious. Why is there still a problem?
:::::::'''"This matters to me and it's not just crap (your word)."''' It seems to me that the "this" you are referring is not Rosetta Code, but your wounded pride and outrage that someone had the temerity to disagree with you, and by all that is holy, you're not going to let that go... um, what's the word I'm looking for... oh yes! unharangued. In that case, yep, it's crap. --[[User:Thundergnat|Thundergnat]] ([[User talk:Thundergnat|talk]]) 17:41, 6 October 2018 (UTC)
