>>2 recommended HtDP, but if these people are more experienced, why do you still hang around with us?

> My understanding of software development is that we should make things as general as possible so we can reuse our code.

The examples of HtDP are not supposed to meet such expectations. I've not read the book, if you provide chapter/page that you're saying this for, I will read it and let you know my opinion of it. The author didn't abstract likely because that was not the point of the example (which, then, we should assume that you missed). Your understanding of software development is incorrect. Abstraction is not used whenever possible, but whenever desirable. You should ask yourself, "what features does this abstraction provide and does my program need them?", before you abstract away something.

How do you know figure out feelings just by reading posts? You got some feedback - your impression of 'software development' is faulty. >>2 also commented on what you said, telling you that "Reads like English" is poor language criteria. Anything else?

This can be arranged. Keep this attitude and you won't stay for long. Take a look at the rules, in case you haven't done so already, especially item #2. http://4-ch.net/view/rules
It is abuse if other members are disatisfied with your attitude and even worse if you ignore them.
