Dear Falodage,

One of my favorite sayings is "I'm always trying to make sense of my environment" and sometimes I self-deprecatingly add, ""generally without success!"

I see from your profile you may have some sympathy with this predicament.

Not by the way, but directly inline, could you please translate your Latin motto, "Non eandem arborem videt."

I got as far as "Not same tree sees" which could I suppose mean you are dancing a jig to the skirl of a different bagpiper?!

Hi, BraveLad. Just another tip to get you settled here: many of us don't read threaded (like moi) and thus would have no idea who you're responding to unless you mention the person's name in your post, or quote a little of the post you're responding to.

Dear Anastrophic,

Thanks for the tip about setting the context for the flatlanders!

I am perusing the FAQs, but is there another place such as a thread where such practical maneuvers are discussed at more length? Or are there some words or phrases typically directed at newbies that would help me locate such helpful comments as yours?

Oh BTW, if I was a figure of speech which one would I likely be?

BraveLad

You bet, Brave Lad! I sent you a private message yesterday about it. (Click on Check Private) And go to the Information & Announcements forum for "Tips for Newcomers."
