   I noticed the same.  As if he uses the newsgroup(s) as his personal "work   
   book", recording every step of his progress.   I only wish he would not play   
   the cruel joke on novices by calling his own learning progress a tutorial.

   About that ... I'm a hobby programmer, and do regulary "tie myself in knots"   
   to see if I can (re)create something the same/similar to what already   
   exists. :-)   I regard the learning process as a reward in itself.   The   
   end-result often lands in the proverbial drawer.

   I must say that I've also started to question his claim that he does it for   
   others.  You simply do not call your own learning proces (where you make   
   to-be-proven assumptions and are doodeling in the border) a tutorial.
