(snip) Glen, I don't post here often. That's probably because I don't consider myself a "technical diver", whatever that might mean. I have however had my disagreements with JT, even as far as language is concerned, but only when I pointed out to him that *his* correction of someone else's use of this language we are writing in was, well, somewhat remiss. I now point out to you, also, that criticism of language is an Internet No, No! You have EVERY RIGHT to correct someone's language as to factuality, you have NO RIGHT to correct someone's language as to context or spelling, at least on this medium and if you do not know what Netiquette is I suggest you do a search. You also have every right to use sarcasm or similar when responding to a particular post and making a particular point as to the TECHNICALITY of that post. You did not do this. In this instance you merely criticised the writer's use of language. THAT particular writer has previously acknowledged, on this forum, that his writing skills are lacking. Who are you anyway? Unless I'm much mistaken, this is your first post here? Christian -- Send mail for the `techdiver' mailing list to `techdiver@aquanaut.com'.
