I'm with you David. Communication has to be as clear as we can.
Especially because this is an international list. There's no culture or
mother language as a common base.
Cheers,

I used to work with a gentleman who grew up in northern Virginia. He said it
wasn't until he was in high school that he realized that the "Civil War" \
and "The War of Northern Aggression" were two different names for the same \
event.
I'd swear that one of the most valuable contributions I make to any project I
work on is making sure that all of the people involved have the same
understanding of what we're doing and how we're going about doing it (frequently
that even entails me changing my view of what that is). My vote is for anything
that promotes clear communication and solidly against anything that makes clear
communication more difficult.
Cheers,
Dave
