Jenifer Clark's Gulf Stream 6/13/02
Actually, I'm surprised Jax didn't jump all over him for not saying "sea
trial" rather than "field test". Shen I did, shen. you just didn't catch on. |

petie, two things.
first, a question actually. Why in hell do you do a "sea trial" OR "field test" of equipment to see if it works AFTER it has been used? Wouldn't it be easier to just ask the people who used the stuff if it worked? second, for your enlightenment the word "edification" does not mean "enlightenment". consult with a good dictionary and note that "edification" has nuances of theology associated with it.

as state, nuances of theology.

oxzy, the words are different and their usage is thus different. there was no
theological issue involved in Franks usage of the word "edification". as state, nuances of theology. To quote you "for your enlightenment the word "edification" does not mean "enlightenment". " but you were correct re the nuances of theology...just got the main part wrong. second, for your enlightenment the word "edification" does not mean "enlightenment". consult with a good dictionary and note that "edification" has nuances of theology associated with it.

oxzy, don't play dense. petie used the word incorrectly.
oxzy, the words are different and their usage is thus different. there was no theological issue involved in Franks usage of the word "edification". Well Jocks, you're nearly correct ...except that it was Peter ....and he was refering to your edification / enlightenment with respect to the testing of equipment "Just for Jaxie's edification, we test gear after we get it back so we know what, if anything is wrong with it and what mods if any need to be done to improve it before the next time it's used." Actually, it appears that once again you are totally incorrect..what's new eh? as state, nuances of theology. To quote you "for your enlightenment the word "edification" does not mean "enlightenment". " but you were correct re the nuances of theology...just got the main part wrong. second, for your enlightenment the word "edification" does not mean "enlightenment". consult with a good dictionary and note that "edification" has nuances of theology associated with it.
