I don't need any "clarification" to understand this last statement like a poor insult. Let's do an exercise; you need it: 1) "popularity" "demagogy" "rights" 2) "lawyer" "demand" "rights" By analogy: 1) "bicycle" "road" "wheel" 2) "Unix" "groups" "wheel" See? In that first paragraph where I mention "rights" in a "popular" context, I am exactly denoting the bad use people do of the word "rights". You killed the messenger. Talking about an "audience" is beyond my goal. I expect just a human being on the other side; not necessary too much cleaver or cultivated just not having a MS Word Spelling Checker by brain is enough. So, I will not waste my time in quoting, sub quoting and meta quoting myself with "this is a metaphor; this is a sarcasm; this is a hyperbole; this is a joke" to the infinite; I made this in the past with people like you and I know that it is a waste of time. Anyway, thanks for your teachings. Walter
