Another example of lost in translation. I didn't say, or even mean to say, that anyone here made me feel embarrassed to ask. Anyone can see that everyone in the Habari community is most eager to help with even the most trivial of matters.
For me, it's more that I just don't want to trouble you with simplistic questions when you clearly deal in higher level problems most of the time. It's like asking a rocket scientist if the moon is made of cheese kind of thing. So really, it's more of a consideration of your valuable time than any kind of complaint that I sound apprehensive about even asking. Please try to just take it for granted that, regardless of unintended tone, I will simply stop posting before I ever give a derogatory, rude or abusive comment about Habari or its community members. I wish to be held accountable for that promise. Constructive criticism or ambitious wishlists should hopefully not be deemed unreasonable. Thank you for the info. Though I am still unclear, I shall try to be more informed the next time I discuss such matters. On Monday, January 21, 2013 5:10:12 PM UTC-5, Chris J.
