Rather unfair, don'tcha think? "interpret?"
Nope. An artist is an interpreter of his/her surroundings. A camera is a recorder of its surroundings. Some artists are creative and create new interpertations based on imput from their surroundings. Those artists are called designers. Most people are designers, I guess. A cook could be called a designer.

as to the "butt-kissing", remember he's the point man on a product that most of us want quite a lot, and we want to givbe him as much encouragement (and deserved praise) as possible.
There is a lot of "butt kissing" over there....and there's encouragement too.
The words I used were... "a lot"... and that does not mean "all".
I hope the big E is "interpreted" better than how "a lot" of people, around here, interpret what they read.
OAB
