I hereby invite and authorize everybody to nitpick on any code I have 
ever written, be it in private or public. Preferably by attaching a 
patch file which points out my errors.

There were times I'd have paid a lot of money to get a free lecture like 
Morbus provided.

Well, our views could not be more different. Morbus' infuriated letter 
has resulted in a better module whereas all the bickering by other 
people has only temporarily filled my inbox.
