Given that the definition is to ward off people who don't know the difference anyway, maybe we are getting a bit pedantic and over complicated? I was trying a bare bones, "what's the difference" answer, rather than a full on, definition for people who actually already know something about the subject as, if they did they wouldn't be asking... However, maybe in futrure I wont bother, it being safer to say nothing than suffer the effects of trying to help. Dave (G0DJA)
