I think you did, but you may have missed mine. You don't agree with using 'danger', 'warning' and caution' as attention-demanding words of differing intensity, because that demands three special definitions that the readers don't know, anyway. My point is that, if attention-demanding words of differing intensity are considered necessary, how can they be chosen, other than the way they are at present? Of course, you may deny that differing intensity is necessary, so that only one word is required, but I am not sure that there would be a lot of support for that. -- Regards, John Woodgate, OOO - Own Opinions Only. http://www.jmwa.demon.co.uk Eat mink and be dreary! ------------------------------------------- This message is from the IEEE EMC Society Product Safety Technical Committee emc-pstc discussion list.
