Hallo Ali,

possible, but anyway suggestions are useful but on the other hand
some things are 'illogical' to anyone who has worked with computers a
lot.
AM There are many ways to make this known, or indicate this, without
AM being abusive in the process or hurting the 'suggestors' feelings.
I think TBUDL is also a forum for suggestions. May the be "illogical"
or "idiotic", I for one will continue to use my creativity, even it is
not always as good - or development-improving, for want of a better
word - as I thought. As a The Bat! User, I bring up ideas for
Discussion on this List (capitalizations intended), and encourage
everyone to do that, too. Even if some ideas may be "illogical" or
even called "selfish" or "idiotic".
And, Tracer,working with computers and knowing internet stuff (RFC
etc) is not the same. I have been on the Internet for four years,
spending most of that time just using email and browsing the net, thus
still being a newbie in many respects, while I worked with computers
at time when a cubboard-sized machine in a clima-controlled room had
so little power that my home PC of today would have been called a
supercomputer. The whole world connected via an "International
Network of Computers" - now that was an illogical idea back then. Read
too much Sci-Fi?
I do agree with Ali that nicer phrases can be just as clear. I don't
think my idea was idiotic or selfish, but I have learned that it is
against common practice. That's fine, I can live with that.
