When answering a question please:

Read the question carefully.
Understand that English isn't everyone's first language so be lenient of bad spelling and grammar.
If a question is poorly phrased then either ask for clarification, ignore it, or edit the question and fix the problem. Insults are not welcome.
Don't tell someone to read the manual. Chances are they have and don't get it. Provide an answer or move on to the next question.

Check http://www.codeproject.com/info/Submit.aspx out. This explains how to update an article.

"We reformat each article that is submitted, and try our best to ensure that all grammar and spelling mistakes have been corrected. It is far, far easier for us if you edit the HTML for your article that we have posted. Logon to CodeProject and at the top right of your article will be a link 'Get Article's HTML'. Click on this and then save the HTML for your article using the File | Save menu in your browser. Ignore the stuff at the top and bottom of your page - you will see "Article Starts" and "Article Ends" tags in the HTML that point to where the actual text for your article is. Strip out everything above and below these markers and edit the HTML directly
If you only have a very small addition to make, or want to report spelling/grammar or link errors then you can just send these in as plain text.
Send all updates to us and remember to include the name of the article and its URL in the email body."

The tags are not "idiotic". I would prefer the word "complicated'. :)

You should have a look at this: Posting/Update guidelines[^]

If it's in unedited state, then you should be able to edit it yourself. In case it is edited by CP by now, then you need to send them the change. Go through the link that I have provided and you should get all info.

The tags are provided to giev each article a common apperarance. It's surprising that "programmers" fail to understand the need for a common appearance.
