Alexander, I do am aware, excellently, that you are self confident, and it indeed is not my business or I would find appropriate to deal with it, in any personal way. But I also *have* to say, that what I indeed find very appropriate for analyzing are the attitudes and technics you (and all of us) are presenting here, on a public list, related to usage of software. After all, we are all here exactly for such an activity, to analyze and to think about all presented views, opinions and experiences, in order to apply the results in our practice. If you, or anyone else, for any reason, and in any moment, cannot *distinguish/discriminate* these two elementary things, then of course that communication makes no sense and is fruitless. The outcome of such (temporal or more durable) inability of ours to recognize difference between these two things, leads to the "famous" (and lately already a pretty boring too) feeling that someone is "personally attacked" and/or treated in any other or similar *personal* way, just by exposing to an analyze the *technics* s/he utilizes. Please, let's recollect ourselves and bring our activities here to a more effective level, putting aside a bit these so vulnerable "personalities" whining after us all the time. Is that somehow possible? "Self confidence" can be (and often is!) built even without any special *content*, or even on a totally *wrong* content. This is *not* my target, I do not point to it, and I am not interested in it, as a member of this, "expert", list. And, if some elements of our personalities are not distinguished well enough from elements of our topics here, it's not "my business" to "correct" this, and to "treat" this at all. But, if such lack of enough effective discrimination spoils the purpose and diminishes fruitfulness of the activities of the list itself, then I, as a member of this list, have full and legitimate *rights* to complain and to point this, and to call for corrections. This letter, in reply to Alexander's, is addressed to *whole* list. If I am wrong, in any part, please, you all, *let* me know, and I will correct myself, *immediately*. But, again, seek to use a good, *solid* arguments, based on well read and well considered contents. "Arguments" of a type "the earth is pizza-like, and I have 6 (or even thousands of) friends who will affirm/'witness/attest/certify' that too", will make no difference.
