Here we talk about the instrument and allude to the by-product. But, when someone (please note, NO attribution) says they need a caption to understand a photograph- well, it just stands to reason something must get lost in translation. Or missed altogether. * * * * * * * * * * As for 'personal attacks'; you must realize when you post a message in a newsgroup your NAME appears in the "from" section of the header. When someone else chooses to comment or further the thread, they may refer to your NAME in the process - or respond directly to you in the newsgroup. That does NOT make it =93personal=94. An "attack", by my handy Websters, is defined as thus; transitive verb. 1.To set upon with violent force; begin hostilities against or conflict with. 2.To bombard with hostile criticism. or, noun, 1.The act of attacking; assault. This is a newsgroup, an open forum for discussion. If a comment is contrary it doesn't mean it is an 'attack'. Because someone doesn=92t agree with a stated position doesn=92t make it hostile. Although there=92= s no cute symbology for it, some of what is offered is tongue in cheek :+& Lighten up will ya?
