Hilmar;

Now I understand why the word “fine: is used. I do not use the old English word used to define seduction or in it’s contemporary usage called the “vernacular”. Interesting how people will attempt to communicate. If you have knowledge and someone asks a question such a response is a great way to put someone down. Unfortunately, there are too many people like that in the world who are unwilling to answer an honest question.

I argue with some people that God did not endow everyone with infinite knowledge. However, there are those who venomously disagree with this concept! They are gods, have infinite knowledge and have no time for nonsense such as answering questions. It is so much easier to say F*** you!

By the way many of us laugh at manuals due to the way they are written. So many manuals convey little other than the lack of understanding of the technical aspects of the topic at hand. Others are written it a language that is not understood by the manuals creator. In either case it leaves the reader in a state of confusion. Yes, read the fine manual, for what it is worth. :)
