Yeah the old armchair programmer syndrome. It is very easy to just sit back in your armchair and give out advice on how to do stuff without having any knowledge or experience in doing it.

"Ah yeah just rewrite the entire code, you are meatheads for not doing that in the first place, you should have done it years ago. Oh yeah I have no programming experience per se, for example I don't know how to program in C and have no idea what the PHP internals look like, but how hard can it be? I mean you just load your C Code into your IDE and then search and replace all the bad code and write in the good code and then press the compile button and there you go. It works that way when I design HTML web sites in Dreamweaver, so it should also work for C, right?" -Archie Bunker 'Armchair Programmer' and 'Technology Bigot'
