Hey, I'm not really sure I'm understanding what you're trying to tell me ;)

After rereading your post I think I got it - I first tried to look up 
"omeody" in a dictionary. Hehe. Well, sth. and sb. are the abbreviations 
I learned at school. Or is this some kind of dialect/speaking with full 
mouth/whatever? Not easy for a non-native speaker to get from "somebody" 
to "omeody" :)

And yes, normally I'd just use a proper verb, but that was just my 
problem: Which verb should one use with "no_reflection"? Perhaps simply: 
"You can prevent the people from showing up in the reflections by adding 
no_reflection to their object declaration". But that doesn't sound much 
cooler. And it's longer, too :)
Hey, what about "Just no_reflectioniate those buddies"? Goes along the 
same line as some CVS-book I read which announced that "to version" 
would be a valid verb since CVS :)

You know, it's a pitty that we were mainly taught English literature in 
class (Here in Germany that is). So now I can interpret Shakespeare, but 
I'd fail miserably when trying to explain somebody that my washing 
machine is broken... I always thought school should prepare for life (at 
least that's what they told us :), but hey, I'm going to study 
mathematics soon, so it seems it didn't work on me :)
