Nothing pathetic about it; it can be a powerful tool.

Depends on the readership; some like economy of words (they like to think through implications for themselves and don't want to be bothered by verbiage) and some like things spelling out.

It is pathetic since when I hear some disturbing news, I visualize things and thus cause myself more uneasiness

Ah! Then it's not so much visualising that is the problem as being discomfited by what you visualise. There's ancient wisdom about that, especially in India

and what is it ? Two posts more and you'll be a guru and then you'll have to think what title you'll choose!

That's funny; I am about to make post number 5000 and become a guru and the current question is about the wisdom of the East!

In many ways wisdom is about being -- and being fully -- with irreconcilable contradictions (paradoxes), about living comfortably on the "horns of a dilemma herd".

In this case the visualising creates a bigger awareness -- that's being more fully -- but the uneasiness is, er, uneasy. One solution is to stop visualising but that's being less. Another solution is to shut out the uneasiness but that, too, is being less. The biggest solution is to accept all the feelings and to feel them fully while maintaining a calm centre. The paradox is in both feeling fully and being untouched at the same time.

EDIT: and that's funnier -- posts in General don't count so this wasn't the 5000th!

Well, your 5000th post should be the most informative post on LQ, try hard to make it "extremely" informative

and I'll take some time to digest your above post.

Note : The English language is dynamic,its changing all the time,slowly...when you have a good understanding of English you then like Shakspeare and many others have the possibility of changing the consensus by coining new words and phrases,however most folks's efforts at this are in vain simply because they are not recognised enough. LOL

Too true. "Netsearching", the healthy alternative to "Googling" isn't catching on so fast

But I wanto to thank the OP and all the members of LQ who have participated in this thread.

Though I’ve browsed it superficially, I’ve found it full of useful information and sense of humour.

I had chosen it to make my first post to the forum but a LinuxQuestions.org.Message told me I was not allowed to do it here.

At http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...myself-845323/ you can find out why I was trying to make my first post in this thread.

I will be very grateful if you can keep an eye on my posts and call my attention whenever I get out of the correct track.

With my best regards



PS:Is the link I wrote working? It doesn't seem that to me and I don't know what to do to mend it.

Welcome to LQ and this thread.

The link is broken because it starts with http://http//www. You can edit your post to fix it.

I fixed it and it seems to be working perfectly now.

Is this grammatically correct ?

Should be

Thanks.
I think this sounds better than above.

There's little or nothing to choose between "Confirm" and "Check" but what does "its associated" add to the expression? I prefer "Check (or Confirm) the file's existence and permissions"
