I wasn't complaining. I was just thinking out loud. Actually, I DO use
minimize with a z. Never thought about it before.

Well I'm English, and I spell some of them with an S, things like
organisation, it annoys me to see that with a Z. But I don't
think I'd go to the trouble of complaining about it.
I do much prefer colour though it could be argued that color is
closest to the original as languages such as Spanish use it, and
they're much closer to Latin than English is these days. Anybody
know what colour is in Latin?

The whole point of this now over hashed thread is spell it any way you
like but don't send an email to Chris Cason complaining about how he spells
it. If you do you may become the next intense focal point for a similar
thread and it is not an enviable position to be in.
Let it go !

Hi, Ken. This thread is old news. That's why I didn't make any mention of
it in my earlier post to Chuck. It's been hashed and re-hashed ad nauseum.
It's history, bygones.
I'm setting Agent to filter this thread. Good luck to you if you choose to
stick around, Ken! Later.

Futue et Caballum Tuum 8).
I just had to add that. It's dog latin and quite rude but if want to
impress people at parties and insult them at the same time .......
53 + entries in the longest thread in Povray and not one thread
dealing with technical issue. UNbelievable..
What were we fighting for ?

You think that's bad. Try living in a country like Canada. British
origin, ( yeah I know, but we whupped their butts on the plains of
Abraham, :), but very heavily influenced by American culture.
Every time I type in "colour" and my Micro$quat word processsor gives
me an error I get, "annoyed"
