Well, actually - CGI has nothing to do with the client-side... :-)

I think you're interpreting our mails the wrong way. Just because someone
adds or corrects something you said, it doesn't mean that they are in any
way critizising you.

Everyone is in a learning process. But just because many on this list are
"beginners" (or rather, not interested in technicalities), it doesn't mean
that we cannot use more "high-level" terms. Nobody would learn anything, if
we just said "Oh, that's too technical" everytime something came up.

I apologize, if you find my email in any way offending. English is not my
first language, so I sometimes have problems expressing my thoughts in the
best way.
