IMO technical terms should stay untouched and I expect people to incorporate those easily into their own language.

I think you have a very good point, but I would like to see if we have any standard practices for other products first, just to see what the experience has been.<br><br>Andy<br><blockquote style="border-left: 2px solid rgb(16, 16, 255); margin-left: 5px; padding-left: 5px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; font-family: Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"><div></div><br><div>
