Why is it that these totally off-topic posts always seem
to take on a life of their own? :-(

This is my LAST post on this subject. (Unless TOTALLY
provoked.)

The problem is not finding the documentation (you can't
believe how many people have replied--and commiserated--
with me and most have offered pointers to yet more
documentation). And the problem is not even reading
the documentation. I'm pretty sure it is written
in English. The problem is that I don't have a clue
about what the documentation is talking about.

I'm really reminded of the first time I went
to Australia. They were playing the big Test
cricket match with England and the papers were
full of talk about Shane Warner and the boys.
But you can only read about "leg-stump googles"
and "sticky wickets", and "stonewallers" for about
five minutes before your eyes cross and your
tongue is sticking in your cheek trying to twist
your limited understanding around some dialog
that you understand must be intelligible to
*someone*, or it wouldn't be in a newspaper.

But, try as I might, those articles have *never*
been intelligible to me. It's kind of the way I
feel when I read anything written by JD about
objects. :-)

Cheers,

David

P.S. Let's just say you are unlikely to find the word
"transmogrification" in one of my books.
