Now, Wolfgang, don't take it personally.  But, aren't you guilty of the
same 
thing?  After all, this thread started off rather humourously, and my 
initial responses were in that same vane, as was yours.

When I read your comment, I didn't recognize the name, so I wasn't sure 
whether you were confusing my style with someone else and thought I might
be 
an alias for, or whether you were making a more intricate reference. 
Which 
is why I responded with the question of who is David Harriman?

Now, you come back and accuse me of inconveniencing yourself and thousands

of other people because I am too lazy to "copy and paste" a term into 
Google, without understanding anything about my situation?

Well, FYI, it isn't quite as simple as you think.  You might be able to 
simply copy and paste and read, but, when you are blind and depend on a 
screen reader, that isn't the case.  Go to Google.  Look at what is in
front 
of you, and try to imagine how a machine would read back a description and

the contents of that page.  How long do you think it would take to listen
to 
that narrative?

It can take me in excess of ten minutes to isolate and listen to a small 
piece of material buried deep in those humungous results pages Google 
generates -- and that is assuming the result I'm after is on the first
page. 
You don't even want to think about how long it takes if it isn't.

So, I'm sorry if I inconvenienced you when I thought you might come back 
with, "Oh, he's a guy I've noticed posting to another group."  Or, "He's
an 
author I enjoy."  Or, "He's this idiot who works for the US government I 
can't stand."  But, in the future, when confronted by something I post
that 
you don't have the energy to reply to, perhaps it would be more polite to 
simply ignore it than to assume everything is as easy for others as it is 
for yourself.  Remember, when you ASSume, you make an "ass out of u and
me."

Good Day,
Dudley
