My apologies if I came across this way. The intent was not to whine about var or function declaration, but rather to provide clear direction about a standardized "okay" way of doing these things without causing yourself undue headaches.

So please don't interpret my calling these issues out as whining. Just trying to make new people aware that they are there. :)

If, on the other hand, I am legitimately WHINING and not realizing it, also feel free to tell me where so I can fix it. Thanks!

Fair enough. Definitely not a personal attack or anything. I used to have the very same thoughts until I really learned how powerful many of those confusing things are.

I've gone through and removed some of the bristly "flavour" language. If you want to scan through it again and look for more offenders I'd be greatly appreciative.
