Don't be too hard on yourself. I didn't understand anything about Functional Programming when we had Miranda as a first course ... and then Lambda Calculus came along in another course I all of a sudden everything made sense.
I remember having an assignment in Miranda which we managed to solve. We compared our solution with those of other classmates and we had 2 pages of code where they had at least 4. We went into the oral exam all confident ... until the teacher showed us his 12 line solution ...
FWIW, those auto-generated review comments are supposed to be automatically deleted every week if they haven't been acted on (or replied to)... Turns out, the task that does this has been failing for months, so I'm manually deleting 20 thousand or so of them right now, but hopefully that starts happening more reliably soon and there's less need to be flagging them. — Shog9 ♦32 mins ago

For some value of "manually". Presumably, not going from one to another....
@Shog9 I really want to see you post a rant on MSE passionately complaining about unfair throttling. Bonus points if you throw in moderator abuse of power.
No that's too practical. Answers to that rant should be limited to explaining that he really ought to go through the contact form, but was probably throttled for a good reason, and should consider cooling off before sending any emails. Also extra credit if they list all the times he's been throttled in the past, and point out that he should've gotten the hint the first time.
Double extra credit for answers that start with the words "Normally I'd keep this private, but since you seem to want to do this here ..."
Double double extra credit (plus comedic street cred) if Shog self-answers.
@Andremoniy I was replying to meagar. He misread the message. You did not delete the answers and your account is not compromised. The answers were deleted because the parent question was deleted, which takes out the answers with it. — animuson ♦27 mins ago

Given that SRKX is an actual user (another candidate), this isn't very nice.
