Dimensions and trimming of the MS

[ReneZ]

Casting aspersions simply distracts from the thrust of your argument and undermines your credibility

This looks to me to be more of a forum issue.
What undermines the credibility is that, either by not reading posts of others, or simply ignoring their contents, the last post of Diane is full of statements that are plainly wrong, i.e. not true.

Don't worry, I'm not going to make a list.
People who actually do read the other posts will know.

In many areas of science and engineering people use the term: "signal to noise ratio" (SNR).
People who hear it for the first time will immediately understand its meaning or purpose.

I prefer reading contributions (here and elsewhere) with a high SNR. Fortunately, there are many.
