You don't get it, do you ?

What you have posted is *not* a tutorial, and you not doing yourself, and 
/definitily not/ the people you claim you are writing tutorials for, any 
favour.

All you did was, rather literally, dump some raw material and some 
unverified assumptions into a post.  Assumptions which I could correct you 
on with just a few minutes of googeling by the way.

Than you build another unverified assumption ("the essential trio is") ontop 
if it and put it into an update of the tutorial.

Yes, it *could* become worth-while information for some people, but as its 
now its worthless to the people you claim you are posting it for (the 
novices).    Verify/test *before* posting, /especially/ when you want to 
claim its a tutorial.

As for your "I was hurrying to post" ?  Thats something you've done to 
yourself.  Nobody was waiting for it, and would be none-the-wiser if you 
would have worked on it a bit more and posted it tomorrow, next week or even 
later.

Good work takes time.  Give it that.  Would you go to a restaurant and 
accept that you get a half-raw meal, or would you expect them to take their 
time and present you with something you would enjoy eating ?
