I worked in Chula Vista, CA for six years in a plant whose workforce was of
mostly Mexican origin, most of them from Tijuana or other parts of Baja. They
used "poco" as I described previously to describe a small or dimunitive item,
thing, or person.

If you think being called narrowminded is a personal attack, you're way too
sensitive. I read an email from you that makes derogatory comments about a
program you've never bothered to try, and narrowminded is an appropriate term.

It's a TB list but you're the one who mentioned Poco, champ. And if you make a
habit of voicing opinions about software you've never even opened, my view is
"whatever floats your boat". At least before I comment on a piece of software,
I make the slight effort required to download the trial and actually run the
thing.
