Vulcans. Pointy! And their native tongue is indecipherable, no? Sorry, folks. I did not mean any offense. The book is in perfectly good English. It is just that the book is along the lines of a uber-complicated technical manual, and it can be very hard to use even if you are somewhat familiar with the terms, and the language. IMHO, it is just not very well organized.

Arrey, you did not offend me. I was trying to be funny. I do understand what it’s like to deal with a techinical cookbook. It’s mind melting.
