Listen, guys, we do not all speak the same language ... not even if we 
think we do. Often our hyperbole is taken as sober fact, or vice versa. 
Some of us are scientists, some teachers, some poets, and some, perhaps 
too many, are preachers.
If you do not define your terms, you cannot preach. You will use an idio 
and it will bite you in the butterfly, every time.
Will you all for godsake use smileys and winkys when you are saying 
something you know to be outrageous. I, too, will try to do this, 
although I hate the things.
just for a little while, until we work this thing out, please?
Some of the new guys are beginning to worry.
