| #8 And such a reassuring, warm image.☺ I married an engineer, Dron, as I’ve mentioned from time to time. A basic of the profession, it seems, is “when in doubt, use a bigger hammer.” Not being an engineer, I use whatever tool-like thing is within reach, regardless of what it was designed for. This can be distressing for those who understand and appreciate tools properly... |

| #4 I don't know what I'm doing wrong, You did absolutely nothing wrong as far as I can tell, my dear. It just sometimes needs to be banged a bit with a wrench, for reasons that are completely unclear to me. No doubt one of Rantburg’s many computer mavens can explain using words I don’t understand, which may or may not advance your comprehension. Literally I opened the article in Edit and closed it again, without making any changes whatsoever. |
