My problem has been sorted out, as my last post indicated - but I opened the thread again, out of curiosity.

It seems to me that rather a lot of jargon seems to be creeping in here - "deep-sixed" for example. One great thing about the Mudcat is it's possible to get answers to technical queries without allowing the jargon and the tech talk taking over, unlike most places on the net which tend to be as impenetrable as possible. I think we should try to keep it that way.
