>>Particularly those who spend time obfuscating intent to make the retrospective process so much more difficult.<< Oh, John, you haven't lived until you've made a grown man threaten you with his crutch, tears in his eyes with frustration because he will have to refile his lawsuit, yet again, because he didn't cross his "t"'s and dot his "i"'s. What seems like obfuscation and/or nuance to you guys seems like law to me. I don't write it, I just use it.

John, Ctrl-Alt-Del is not much to do with my daily routine now. It used to be! Life is, usually, a breeze with my computer these days. The cyberspace cornucopia is staggering and getting more amazing by the day. The telecosmic collapse is unpleasant for those who lost a fortune, but it's just a glitch in the big scheme of things. True, engineers' products have glitches too and not all 0s are circled and 1's algorithmed - but that's not deliberate jargonistic obfuscation. Meanwhile, the financial doomsters herein are predicating a global calamity on a telecosmic sidebar. In legalese, Mq
