   You don't get it, do you ?   
      
   What you have posted is *not* a tutorial, and you not doing yourself, and   
   /definitily not/ the people you claim you are writing tutorials for, any   
   favour.   
      
   All you did was, rather literally, dump some raw material and some   
   unverified assumptions into a post. Assumptions which I could correct you   
   on with just a few minutes of googeling by the way.   
      
   Than you build another unverified assumption ("the essential trio is") ontop   
   if it and put it into an update of the tutorial.   
      
   Yes, it *could* become worth-while information for some people, but as its   
   now its worthless to the people you claim you are posting it for (the   
   novices). Verify/test *before* posting, /especially/ when you want to   
   claim its a tutorial.   
      
   As for your "I was hurrying to post" ? Thats something you've done to   
   yourself. Nobody was waiting for it, and would be none-the-wiser if you   
   would have worked on it a bit more and posted it tomorrow, next week or even   
   later.   
      
   Good work takes time. Give it that. Would you go to a restaurant and   
   accept that you get a half-raw meal, or would you expect them to take their   
   time and present you with something you would enjoy eating ?   
      
   Regards,
