I wasn't arguing that such was "fair". The world isn't "fair". I /was/ arguing that (IMO) the elementary school comment was out of line,= =20 and that had it been made to me, I'd have considered asking for an=20 apology. Instead, simply (re)stating that it's not something that can be= =20 easily explained and that it was your viewpoint that documentation wasn't= =20 needed (yes, I /know/ it's a restatement, there's no harm in showing a=20 bit of exasperation in having to repeat it by mentioning the repeat), as=20 Ciaran has been so patiently doing (thanks, Ciaran), would have (IMO)=20 been more appropriate. --=20 Duncan - List replies preferred.
