Thanks, Darrell, that's about what I thought your reply would be.  I am used 
to some levels of jargon and there are areas of expertise where you couldn't 
touch me with a ten foot pole.  However, you say it best, in your slogan, at 
the bottom of every post you send out, namely:  "
Information should be accessible to us without need of translation by
another person."  I might have missed an earlier part of the thread, that 
the sender had put out there, which would make my comments that much more 
embarrassing, but, I don't think I did, which is why I wrote what I wrote, 
plus which is why I am continuing the thread,in  public.  In other words, by 
all means, explain your direction, but don't try to baffle or brag, through 
the esoteric use of jargon, OK?

I have really said more than I intended to, on this subject, which 
embarrasses me the most; my apologies to anyone who feels that I am out on a 
limb here-- I don't think I am, but I could certainly be! Now, because of 
your high class lingo, I have to attempt to do some "Search Engine Surfing" 
, in order to get caught up.  You know, I should have spent $100 or $135 to 
get a Reading for the Dyslexic and Blind membership, before now, in order to 
get the textbooks that I might need; any suggestions on textbooks that I 
might peruse,to get me up to speed on some of these subjects, Darrell?

Regards to the list and to Darrell,

Mac Norins

Hi Mac,

The shop talk is just a matter of fact sometimes on these mailing lists.  I
apologize.  I'll write another note shortly in an attempt to explain some of
this stuff, but it is also helpful to start learning some of the lingo, too.
Lingo ( or jargon) allows people to quickly communicate ideas with others
who also know the meanings of the terms.  It just can't always be avoided
and some of this is up to us to expand our knowledge bases as individuals.
