It helped me a lot to distinguish between two.. thanks again Swapnil Randy 30th April 2009, 09:00 AM Nice advice from everyone, but here's the real deal...it doesn't really matter what anything is called as long as people know what's being talked about. I visit different organizations all the time who use their own terms and language and I couldn't care less as long as they understand and can tell me what they mean. Don't get all wrapped around the axle worrying over nits. Spend your time on real issues. |
