There's nowt wrong with having the occasional barney; it's a good way of de-stressing, if you're having a sh1tty day at work.
Taking what you say in a message board seriously, though, that's just daft -- although I do know people who used to save all their postings to newsgroups, for...
... Erm, I have no idea for what, actually. I'm willing to bet that even they never read them again -- being that egocentric would take a lot more training than I'd be willing to go through.

I've read many of your posts and found a familiar tone to them. I couldn't place it until now, but I know who you are. Your Data from Star Trek TNG with your emotion chip turned on aren't you. 
When you are dead, you won't even know that you are dead. It's a pain only felt by others.
Same thing when you are stupid.

So I've gotten rather good at sprouting seeds and growing them into plants. In particular, I've taken a fantasy toward cacti and succulents. I've even bought a Sabra (prickly pear) and Pitaya (Dragon Fruit), processed the seeds and watched them grow (much faster than regular cacti).
So, then I moved on - with rug-rats coming and going I keep my spiny (horny?) friends at work so no one makes a fist around them: succulents. Harder to get the seeds. In all cases, being eminently childlike, I get 'mixed' seeds because I like the surprise as they grow and differentiate.
But, of course, there's always Amazon - or more correctly, the scillion vendors in their marketplace. I ordered succulent seeds from two sources, both in China. Several weeks later little envelopes arrive. So far, so good.
Eagerly, I plant the seeds from the two sources (separately). One, consisting of many seeds much smaller than poppy seeds, send up an army of thing plants whose progress has halted. The jury's still out on these.
The others, from a company called Sinark, looked like the topping for an "everything bagel", although a tad smaller. These sprouted. After the first two sets of real leaves appeared, they were remarkably distinct and anything but 'succulents' in progress. A little online search (due to the distinct third leaf set) and I found out that the seeds they sent (that grew) were unambiguously Red Clover.
Amazon's returning my money - no one's paying for the lost time.
Lesson to be learned: There are hoards of these seed sources in China, with names like YAYXXA and others made-up-for-the-moment. Until they settle down and have some real business standards - totally avoid them as a direct source. Have a local intermediate who, in order to avoid the expense of refunds, will cull the herd for you. Seeds are commonly imported from throughout the world - but being the test field for QC is an expensive mistake.

Maybe we all have fantasies about succulents, and maybe some of us even cacti, but in your case, I think the phrase is "I've taken a fancy..."

Not just seeds.

You can find local seed exchanges if you look around. I know MotherEarthNews.com[^] will often have links for seed exchanges, at least for the US.
I do enjoy gardening but it can be a lot of work so I typically only plant things that I can eat.

Outdoors, you and I agree totally on something! Basically, in my garden, I'm growing eggplant parmigiana (cheese takes too long to sprout). The cacti make particularly good house plants in that they'll be happy in a two ounce paper cup for years.
As for lawns? I won't fertilize or water the thing. All I'd get back is faster growth and the need to mow it more often. Who needs that? Survival of the fittest.

I have eaten cactus many times before, but do not care for it. It has a very strange taste.

That cactus you have eaten wouldn't be peyote by any chance?

Have you tried here[^]?
They've got forums for just about every programming language, and you can ask experts in those forums for help.

How can my program be so buggy, even though I have used a debugger on it?

Because you have used debugger you should have avoid it.
