<p>My answer is simply: Please just show the code. </p>

<p>To downplay the code, there are obvious possible signals, such as: The code is given at the end of the answer for those interested. Here is the code for those interested.</p>

<p>If the code is not interesting or useful or not in a language you use or can translate, you can ignore it in a flash. That comes really easily and you don't even have to practise. </p>

<p>If the code is any of those good things, excellent. </p>

<p>People who provide code can be assured that many appreciate your time and effort and try to reciprocate when they can. </p>

<p>Note that even code someone never uses can be a stimulus. Sometimes I see something done easily in some other language, and think: I should be able to do that just as easily in my favourite language. Occasionally, something is apparently harder work than in your own favourite language, and then there is an enjoyable wry smile. </p>
