Most of the points Greg makes to you are matters of correctness, not
matters of taste.
I don't know how many times you will have the opportunity to
continue talking with knowledgable people who try to help you, if
you dismiss their points as them just being "upset" over aesthetics.

Most of the time when asking for help from people with a lot more
knowledge than me in a given subject, I tend to assume that if I
find something they say to be oddly picky or unnecessarily strict
then it's most likely because of a gap in my own knowledge, rather
than them trying to make me slaves to their own personal style.
Thanks,
Andy
