how do the comments have anything to do with the hosting site? Are you trying to get us to go to the hosting site "itaxsmart", by baiting us with stupid "funny" code comments? I don't know.

Did not intend to send your to a 'bad' site - the link was in reddit/r/programming, did not pay close attention to the site this early in the morning. Sorry.

... does a courier send me an email to tell me that a parcel has been delivered ... to me? I know! I was there. You only allow items to be delivered to the addressee in person. Do you imagine that after half an hour I've forgotten it occurring?

That's what their SOP says 
Standard Operating Procedure
|
|
|
|
|
The company policy states "An Email or text message must be sent to allow the customer to know that the package is out for delivery", the office drone whose job it was forgot to send you the message when said truck left and now sent you an Email alert thinking that you like my parents and only check your email when someone (usually me!) says 'Have you checked your email'....
I bet ya!

It is the end of the delivery process and so you get a message of it.
Press F1 for help or google it.

The courier services here send an email to us to let us know that they have delivered a package. It's useful since they just leave them at the door and if I am expecting something, I can ask a neighbor to pick it up for me while I'm at work.
That said, I don't think I've gotten an email for a package that I have to sign for... I'll need to order some ![Beer | [beer]](https://www.codeproject.com/script/Forums/Images/beer.gif) and check.

In case the courier went to the wrong address and some dodgy person squiggled in the signature box and think they are going to keep your stuff without you noticing for a few days and then deny all knowledge of said package ever arriving?

That would be reasonable except that this is a special delivery for which I'm required to provide ID (I could tell you why but then I'd have to kill you!)

But can't you put anyone's email address in when asking to receive notice of delivery?
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

It's just a receipt. Just in case someone else signed for it, you could now create a scene in your home, which seems like the sort of thing you'd do given how easily you get annoyed over little things.

Maybe they were not sure that it was you. I've once ordered a gaming computer for about $1500 and checked at work the tracking number and it said delivered. I called UPS and they said it was delivered at the reception. There is no reception in the building where I live. When I got back home, they just dumped it in front of my door.
Good thing I live in Canada and it was still there after several hours lying around in the lobby.
it ain’t broke, it doesn’t have enough features yet.

Because if you are at work, there might be 200 people in the same building. If you need it urgently, then knowing goods in have signed for it means you can go and get it instead of waiting for someone to open it, mangle it, steal half the bits, pour the rest into an internal memo envelope, and send it to the wrong floor...
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

I once found a registered letter (signature required) containing concert tickets on my doormat. The postman had written on it "nobody was home to sign for it, so I signed it myself"!

[thought I'd try the new message type]
Just had a cold call about miss sold PPI. I politely the lady [citation needed] that I had never had nor needed any PPI and that I was not in need of her services.
But she persisted and asked me how I could be so sure.
Nagy Vilmos said: I build banking systems. I have put in software serving banks across the world and I know how banking products are designed. I read the small print in contracts and do not sign anything I am unsure about. I have worked in financial services for over quarter of a century. I HAVE NEVER HAD PPI!
She replied "oh."

Quote: She replied "oh, and continued the sales pitch"
Or thats my experience of them.

Yes, she tried to keep me going and I politely but firmly asked her to be so kind as to FOAD.

I find it more satisfying to not even bother to give a response but to just hang-up. I'm sure they have every possible response, 99.99999999% not repeatable in the Lounge .

No, you should keep them on the phone for as long as possible. While they are talking to you they won't be bothering me.
