Here's a hint, Any time *any* one uses the adverb
"simply", he's probably trying to buffalo you. Either he doesn't
understand himself or he's trying to trick you. It took reading
thousands of usenet posts to notiice this fact.

The things that are really simple you generally don't need to have
explained to you and when you hear a simple explanation, it is
obviously true on its face. When people say "simply" (and a synonym
I forget) they are almost never talking about something simple.


You know, I'd never really put the thought into
words, but this sure does make sense. I'll let
you know if I pick up on the synonym for simply.

There was one particular guy in one particular newsgroup who was
always proclaiming false things, and he always used the word "simply".
But after I noticed it with him, I saw the same thing with others,
even if not as often.
