Thanks, Focus. You've hit the nail on the head.
I've given up trying to explain, but I certainly haven't given in that I'm wrong on this subject. I put a lot of thought into composing my posts, usually altering them and fine-tuning them before I click on the Post Message button, so that they convey exactly what I mean and aren't in any way ambiguous or open to interpretation. Unfortunately, in so many cases, it's obvious from some of the replies that the same amount of thought hasn't gone into the reading of them.
