Exactly what do you expect in an answer?

We've told you that we're not building your airplane for you.

We've told you HOW to build the airplane.

You keep insisting we're not helping you by not telling you what you
want?

We keep hearing "Build my airplane for me"

What we have here is a failure to communicate.

Ask a specific question about a specific bit of your code.

Don't ask us to read page after page and tell you what's wrong with
it; That's not going to happen.
