What is the meaning of "term of art" ? PS Don't be such a lazy bastard,
delete some of the guff from the post you are replying to, I believe this
is not your first such offence, it took me ages to ascertain if and what
you were replying to.

The risk you run is that no-one will bother to even read your posts if you
keep it up, I've only got a limited lifespan and it eventually becomes more
economic to simply trash your posts unread if you can't make SOME effort to
be concise.
