What the ... I thought this was the swamp ... this kind of attitude belongs back at the Autodesk new server.
I think it's easy to look down one's nose and get snotty about other people's code because it don't measure up to one's sense of cleverness, brevity etc.
Fact is, the last version of the code in question here was written 6 years ago according to its header (I would safely guess it predates Autodesk Express Tool) -- we don't know if there is a more up to version, or if he only spent 5 minutes on it.
If one thinks they can pen a more efficient version they should just step up and demonstrate better technique rather than besmirch the author, who incidentally, didn't even post said code.
Incidentally, Autodesk has a habit of lifting code and ideas from others without giving credit. Moreover, more often than not, when you look at their code it often appears as if it were written by some amateur they found in a bar.
