I just came back online and saw the recent replies to this thread.
What I suggest to both parties is to back off and step away from the computer for now, and both of you have my personal invitation to the event we are holding on the 30th of December (if you haven't already registered) and I will buy you both coffee (or tea or whatever drink takes your fancy) so that we can have a face to face discussion over a nice cuppa.
There probably will be no end to words being bandied about the forum; and we can all argue as to the interpretation, mis-interpretation, interpretation of the mis-interpretations, implications and explicitations (errr ... I just made this up) of words and sentences till all living things turn to fossil fuels.
I was going to respond to student's earlier reply to my reply - but then, I took a step back and asked myself "To what good will that be?" - it will probably just draw out another equally wordy and lengthy response from student - and the funny thing will be that BOTH of US will be EQUALLY right, if the responses are seen from the viewpoint, opinion and angle of the person replying.
Christmas is around the corner and I wish each and every member of ClubSNAP a time of rejoicing, merriment and happiness with their family and there is no point losing sleep (or hair) over comments made in a forum.
