To Grader I'll certainly keep that in mind with regard to declining answers. Thank you for letting me know.
As far as why I declined, I simply wanted to make the suggester (and site) aware that I couldn't wait the normal 24 period since I will be leaving town.
I certainly didn't intend to slap anyone in the face. And perhaps you should let my honorable peer Cilian that there is no place for sarcasm on this site. Another member simply asked me for more context and I provided it. If we are indeed an online community, then perhaps we should like kind neighbors rather than bitter parents.

control functions in one place The article is definitely talking about how integrated the machine control is. This sentence should provide some additional context:
"Die gesamte Roboterkinematik inklusive aller sonstigen Maschinenfunktionen konnten mit einer einzigen in IEC 61131-3 programmierten Steuerung realisiert werden, ohne sonstige proprietäre Steuerungsmodule"

Or is this a case of having all control functions at one place only?
Friderike Butler Sep 21, 2005:
Can you provide a bit more context? "auf einen Nenner gebracht" usually means to simplify and unify something, e.g. establishing a common denominator for different systems or finding a base line. Is that the topic of the article?

Matthew, it is not necessary to make a gesture of 'declining' answers. Simply pick the one you want to award the points to. By definition, all others are 'declined'. By taking the trouble to state that you 'decline' an answer (Reason: 'out of office'??) you are delivering an unnecessary slap in the face. You are not the only peer on this site to be sensitive to the comments and reactions of others.

"And perhaps you should let my honorable peer Cilian (know) that there is no place for sarcasm on this site." Might I respectfully request that you deliver your own messages. Thank you.

'In perfect harmony'. Yes, that's the 'real thing'. Thanks, Cilian.

Comment: "I can't wait the required 24 hrs as I will be out of the office tomorrow. I decided on Teresa's suggestion. And by the way, I'd like to thank Cilian; sarcasm is always helpful!"
