You then asked for clarification - makes good sense. And asking in the style of "When I read server hardware I understand..." makes good sense as well. ...but then the OP responded and explicitly clarifies to you what his understanding of "server hardware" is, it no longer makes sense to ...but when the OP responds with "I would say a server is any piece of software or hardware that serves data to other devices" you got your clarification! >From that point on it no longer makes sense to insist - in same thread - on a different interpretation: Topic is a request for help, and you are frankly not helping with what was asked. You might theoretically be helping millions of others reading along who appreciate your continued inout about a derived subject - but it is more sensible to me, and more visible to those who want that help, if you change the subject line to match your derived topic. > And in general in one discussion everybody can put forward any > statement or question. No one is forced to answer. Anyone can do anything. Not all is sensible, however. Possibly taking the time to write this email is not sensible - time will tell... - Jonas -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist & Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ [x] quote me freely [ ] ask before reusing [ ] keep private
