What a piece of incomprehensible bloviating nonsense.
What I wrote?
Had nothing to do with you - had to do with R99's use of the word "Buoyance" ! Go search for this obscure word on Google and see what you get. Standard usage is the word "buoyancy".
So this had nothing to do with you but with R99's commentary. I should have just left well enough alone. I will just stay in my cave from now on. Good luck

Georger, I'll haul my computer off to the shop tomorrow to get my spell checker repaired. Thanks for the heads up.
One etymology traces Buoyance (FR) back to c1723 meaning 'light hearted' 'spirited' .... somewhere maybe around 1850 it took on a technical meaning perhaps in relation to heat exchange theory (Kirchhoff) ? ... Today its an archaic form of 'buoyancy'. ........... but this is all wasted. I just havent seen that word used formally in a very long time. It struck me as odd and arcane. Use whatever word you want. Your computer is fine as you very well know.
