The discussion below concluded in late November, but I have some comments and considerations.
I myself, don't tell people "this is too complicated to explain". I give them *something*; it will provide some impression and place to start; further consideration will be their choice to make.
I have told people this is too complicated for me to explain ... because I don't understand it well enough to explain it. My wife doesn't appreciate when I explain in too much detail when I do know it so I try to adjust explanations to the person's background and temperament. I'm not always successful as sometimes my sarcasm gets the best of me and I say the perfect thing at exactly the wrong time. I do try to supply some answer when I have an idea, a guess when I can make a guess (making it clear that it's a guess) and I've started saying that I have no idea when I have no idea. -- Linux Home Automation Neil Cherry ncherry@linuxha.com http://www.linuxha.com/ Main site http://linuxha.blogspot.com/ My HA Blog Author of: Linux Smart Homes For Dummies
