Software Terminology: Was: Re: OOo now using KDE dialogs!

[Steven Vollom]

I get your ridicule, but Frans gave me the answer to my problem today.  
It was like your response David, however, it was not the same.  You made 
a list of the things I am comfortable with.  What Frans did was give me 
a link to a Google site that answered the question that has blocked me 
for 20 years.

Lisi make light of it in an email I just answered.  She even realized it 
was baby food, just like you imply.  Nonetheless, I have asked the 
question hundreds of times and no one until Frans was willing to give me 
the baby food I so obviously needed.  So for years no one has answered 
my question and for years I have done things wrong.  I never knew what 
my mistake was and no one would tell me.  But sometimes if your idea 
doesn't work and you give the person the baby food like Frans did, you 
will help some poor unfortunate to get more out of the 20 years that I 
struggled through.  You can be certain I will never try to humuliate 
someone for not knowing something.  And when I see someone lost in the 
same enigma that I was, I will copy and past Frans' help, so that the 
right person gets the credit and another person gets the blinders 
removed.  His baby food was the most significant peice of help I have 
yet received.  I have heard of accountants adding a column of figures in 
their mind something like this. 2 + 1 = 4 + 3 = 7 + 3 = 10 over and over 
not realizing the simple mistake they were making and never getting the 
account to balance.  The something like this happens,  Daddy 2+ 1 isn't 
4, its 3.  I am sure it was embarrassing, but when your mind gets caught 
in an error that you just keeping repeating, sometimes the mind of a 
child is what it takes to keep you in business.  I actually saw 
something like that happen.  It made a very intelligent man very 
embarrassed, yet grateful to his innocent daughter.

I may not appear as stupid after the help I got today.  It was a huge 
break though for me.  I am not embarrassed just grateful.
