I actually consider the discussions that are now two threads to be "brainstorming", and I don't really consider it to be criticism. Just another point of view. And ultimately, if this discussion has a positive outcome, the end product will be better for it. And only Bob Holtzman's reply "tweaked my sensibilities", as the saying goes. But I didn't want to fall into the "Tom and Dick" story line I posted, so I sat back for a couple hours before writing my reply. I always try to create a post without causing any undue hard feelings. But as we are all human beings, and we are unfortunately dealing with the written word, we can never be 100% successful in that. And a good reason for the use of text smilies to impart the emotions we are trying to convey. :-) Except possibly for me..... I'm actually Commander Data's evil twin Lor!

I've had to write instructions, company plans, etc. over the years. And it is so-o-o-o-o-o-o time consuming and hard to choose sentence structure, vocabulary, etc. to try to make your documents understandable to as many people as possible. So I do feel for the individuals who are involved in just the documentation process. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Ken Springer "All progress depends upon the unreasonable person."
