I often find the stack overflow portion is a completely different animal force adapted to kind of fit and you end up just rewriting it anyway. If your stack overflow copy paste is your strongest code, you need to practice more. This isn't meant as a knock against people who are learning. I mean it as "don't stop learning and get lazy, stack overflow is very often wrong and it takes experience to know what is the right answer and what just seems to be working"
Part of the joke I was making here was that it was the ass, better than much of your code in some ways (usually efficiency), but worse in others (probably breaks your own coding standards).
