 Subject:  let's look at the definitions first...List thread.  
  
 Date:  Nov 4, 2005

Hi Brian,

What you are offering me are opinions as to what tweaks and nit-picking are. I was referring to their definitions:

"The phrase comes from the task of removing the tiny eggs of lice (nits) from someone’s hair and clothing, a tedious activity that required close attention and care.
...nit-pickers are those who quarrel with trivialities of expression and meaning, but who usually end up without making concrete or justified suggestions for improvement”.

To tweak, on the other hand, is to fine tune. What is being fine-tuned, or how much is not defined. So it can be everything uncovered, or just the simple items. It can be the obvious, to the not so obvious.

Using these definitions, we are looking at tweaks since someone is actually doing something about what they find, thereby negating it from being categorized in the first definition.

Sadly, I will not be a Devilcon...I need to get away more. :-(

But I still have this lovely kit which I will be tweaking EVERYTHING I find! ;-)

Regards,
Saúl
