The Absolute Amateur -
Prompted by a friendly comment, I would like to make it clear that I have absolutely no formal training whatsoever in these matters; I am only summarizing my thoughts on one or two (perhaps three) subjects I have been thinking about for some time, to express perhaps a different angle, and see if someone might be interested enough to discuss one or two points on them.
C’est tout...
Thank you for your kind hints, ryan_b. I’ll tray to implement them on the next post.
The breaks I put in had a technical reason as well, BTW. My system kept running out of memory, and so I had to cobble the post together bit by bit and these served me as markers. I don’t know the reason for this or if I am the only one experiencing it, but never mind. And Oh yes, I am indeed an amateur; I have now made that clear in my profile, so I hope that helps.
