[QUOTE="Robban, post: 76299012, member: 255061"] There is a story of how Columbus answered those who meant that it was not so remarkable, it was easy if one knew the land was there. It was something about an egg, cannot recall it exact but it went something like, breaking an egg is easy unless it is placed upright, try it out, so they did, and found it was not so easy. Meaning saying something is easy when someone else has done it first is different from doing it first. Maybe not so clear. It is not always easy to communicate one's thought on paper, not for me at any rate, I tried writing to the tax office once, attempt after attempt they ended up in my waste paper basket. so I just wrote a note, I wrote, "Take what you want and give me what is left." For example. [/QUOTE]
