It has proven to be an excellent idea in the history of computer science to express things unambiguously that are described in documentation (and the option label is undoubtedly one such, albeit brief, description). It is certainly beneficial for the end-user if what is stated actually happens. If an option says "with this option, the following behaviour will be changed as follows", then an "and under the following circumstances" is only to be expected if the "following circumstances" are part of the description.

It's not as if there was a lack of space. Screens are patient. :)

Now you know we're in trouble... when Tux goes back on his meds, speaks with an almost conciliatory hauteur, distinct absence of bombast and hyperbole... it's almost like... like... civilised discourse? Man, grown-ups are horrible! What's this world coming to? And in one my own threads yet!

Have we fallen so far only to land in a Baudrillardian simulacrum of reasoned stability? Outlandish! Who are you and what have you done with the real Tuxman? :shock:

You Irish certainly are a conundrum. 'This forum is not a chat, Tuxman, do try to be less casual and more spirited in your discourse!', and then one complies, yet it remains a subject of contention!

We get very nervous if forced to go more than a couple of days without being within ear-shot of a snide comment, irreverent riposte, or something we can argue about! It's our Achilles heel, and a foundation of the very Republic itself. Bellicose embellishment, exaggeration, caricature... mix in a few funerals, wistful poetic longing, a heck of a lot of stubborn sullen resentfulness of other people occasionally overflowing into inexplicable violence, and you've pretty much solved the conundrum. What can one do? :wink: :shrug:

That doesn't sound like anything I would ever say. Well, I might think it, but never say it. I mean, spirited discourse? There's no evidence of that. This forum is suitably staid and proper, and makes those Stack Overflow stick-in-the-muds look like a bunch of free-wheelin' hillbillies.

I can't even imagine what would have ever given someone a different impression. Scurrilousness, perfidiousness... they shall find no harbour here! We are the very lambs of God - in a motorcycle-club, sort of way. :twisted:

It is rather fitting for the current state of affairs that biblical dietary rules forbid eating certain animals, but not lambs. The Bible, naturally, makes no mention of motorcycles; however, I daresay the Hells Angels handle that aspect quite adequately. Here's to alternative deities. Bon appétit!
