On my walks in progress, I have often thought about the problem 
that obviously not everybody understands all the subtleties of 
my postings, and of what I could do about it.  I consider certain 
means (strings) commonly used on the web to deal with this kind 
of problems somewhat "self-defeating".  Maybe I should paste 

    IF YOU ARE [XYZ], YOU ARE RECOMMENDED NOT TO CONTINUE 
    READING THE PRESENT POSTING.

to the top of certain postings of mine in the future.  

But [XYZ] is difficult.  Using only general terms in it 
is more subtle than, e.g., a relation to an age of 18 years 
or so.

After another hour, this idea has come to my mind:  In [XYZ], 
I could simply enumerate, name by name, the endangered person. 
What do you think?

World-wide wishes,

    Uwe.


P.S.: I suppress certain comments such as mentioning 
the great Robin Fairbairns or why Markus Kohm signed 
one copy of his manual with "RTFM" as "self-defeating".
