Many among us don't think in assembler and don't know enough about the code to decide if/why something is wrong. This in turn causes someone (like me) to send an email asking what is wrong, causing another reply by you etc. etc. It's a bit like me stating: "The bug is in line 14: i+=3D2 " If you don't know the code you won't understand why. Now if I said "line 14 increments by two, but then you won't ever get out of the loop since the exit condition won't be met" everyone could understand it and evaluate my statement. If you show a wrong code snippet please explain _why_ it is wrong in the same email.
