It's pretty disrespectful expecting us to take the trouble to help you and not even identify yourself.

Hi,

if the site has asked me to identify myself, I would be pleased to, but calling someone direspectful when the question was not made is really too aggressive.

As there are some sites that give answers promptly, I did not really noticed that the question would go to a real person, I will not though say sorry, as I have already been disrespected by your aggressive comment.

Hi Marcia:


Explanation:
Thanks for giving us your name and your explanation. It is quite reasonable, of course, and I do appologize to you for "shooting from the hip".

As you saw, though, from the unanimity of colleagues who agreed with me, we have had a lot of this lately: that is, people who sign on to pick our brains without identifying themselves and don't even choose a winner or thank us. Some even asking for translations of pornography!

If you wish to ammend your log-in information, giving us your name (or at least a screen name) and allowing e-mails, I'm absolutely sure that your colleagues on ProZ will be delighted to join me in welcoming you and in answering your questions to the best of our ability.

By the way: "Capacitar" in the sense you asked it is: to enable the trainees to work in towers.

Regards,
Ted

disagree  Louisa: it wasn´t to agree or disagree, i just think it´s a waste of time to harass clients. Sorry for the confusion, but the computer I was using before did not allow to select agree options. Happy holidays to all...
