I see. You use redoing (some) things as your tool for learning how to do it.
I have no problem with that. I have to admit I did not properly understand
this before.

Actually, apart from your learning, greater good may come from this approach
since through your reimplementation you might discover flaws in what is
already there. If so please do tell us/me. I have always emphasized that.

Sure.

Please, no, by all means do as you need to do to learn this stuff.

See, the thing is that I always mistakenly assumed you *already knew* how to
do it and I was always wondering why you would then want to redo it. I did
not realize you had to learn the How first.

I am truly sorry! This would never have dawned on me had you not explicitely
said it this way now!

Yes, please do send questions.

I beg to acknowledge one thing, however: I have tried to always discuss both
sides good and bad of any approach (including mine) that has been put forth
on the list.
