Hello B,
I hope I didn’t offend and if I did please forgive me. It’s rare for me to post on a forum so I’m not good at conveying my feelings in the written word. I sincerely do want to help. I do try to read all posts up on our forum each day and have noticed that confusion usually is due to lack of important information. Your description wasn’t bad at all and of course it takes time to get the nomenclature down. I only meant to help by stating the reason for my confusion which was the need for more information – in my case. In fact adding as much information is more important for those who are starting out since incorrect or missing nomenclature may result in a vague or erroneous description. That extra bit of information might help solidify the context of a post and reduce the possibility of receiving incorrect and possibly dangerous responcs. This may be the reason bob added – “so do be very careful as I still may not be visualizing this too clearly” – to his post. This is the same reason that material houses ask for so much information when ordering parts. I don’t think you can ever give a material house to much information!
I thought Bob covered both negative and positive setting in the course but I didn’t see it when I checked. Maybe I’m wrong. Bob or anyone????
I do hope this helps B and please accept my apology if I offended you. Peter
