Thanks, Stephen, for admitting that you're little more than an
educational elite musician who sometimes gets paid by a CHURCH, of all
things. *Like that's real music making!

If Stephen is anything like Boon it's worse than that.

I think you spent too much time in Minnesota, all snowed in. Here in
Texas, we enjoy life a little more.

We also know it's not cool to spill and drink on a woman's dress and
then say, "Take it off, and I'll fix everything."

Then why did she laugh so hard and offer to meet me in the women's
room?

Nervous laughter. And your claim that she offered to meet you in the
ladies' room is a useless Usenet claim. I saw different.



No wonder you can't ever meet women. You have no sense of humor.

That's your idea of humor? And I'm not trying to meet women right
now...my life is already too complicated in that department. That's
why I didn't respond to your continuous offers to "go out and get some
'tang."



I'd post more but I have a 30 Hz honk to clear up.

An alignment protractor will do wonders. Of course, I had to explain
what one was to you, didn't I.

There are many types of alignment. Of course, Alignment is the
adjustment of an object in relation with other objects, or a static
orientation of some object or set of objects in relation to others.

An alignment of megaliths: see stone row.
An alignment (archaeology) in archaeology is a secondary or
circumstantial form of evidence used to associate features such as
postholes
Alignment (role-playing games) refers to the moral and ethical
perspective of the player characters, non-player characters, monsters,
and societies in the game.
This meaning applies in particular to alignment in the Dungeons &
Dragons role-playing game.
It has a more specific meaning in some disciplines:

Business/IT alignment, Business/IT alignment optimizes the relational
mechanisms between the business and IT organization by working on the
IT effectiveness of the organization in order to maximise the business
value from IT.
Strategic alignment refers to business structure and information
technology fit in relation to business strategy and external
environment. When alignment is attained firm gains competitive
advantage and increase performance. Strategic information systems
belong in this category.
Typographic alignment, in typesetting, lines of text or images can be
aligned left, right, centered or justified.
Sequence alignment shows similarities between protein or nucleic acid
sequences (also in bioinformatics).
Structural alignment presents similarities in 3D structure of protein
molecules.
Wheel alignment in an automobile means adjustment of the camber,
castor, and/or toe to improve performance and maintain proper tire
wear characteristics of the car
Data structure alignment, in computer programming, refers to arranging
data in memory
Parallel text alignment, in artificial intelligence or natural
language processing
Ontology alignment, in heterogeneous knowledge bases, the expression
of the correspondences between two ontologies is called ontology
alignment
Body alignment, in sport and dance, the proper placement of the bones
so that the muscles do less work
Morphosyntactic alignment, in linguistics, the properties determining
the grammatical relationship between verbal arguments of various
kinds
Fibre alignment, in optoelectronics, to connect two Optical fibers to
each other
Shaft alignment, in mechanical engineering, to adjust two coupled
rotating machines
Planetary alignment, another term for Syzygy in astronomy (see also
Conjunction)
Road alignment, describing a particular path taken by a numbered route
at a particular time.
Other fields where the term "alignment" has a particular meaning:

Ley line, an interpretation of an alignment of a number of places of
geographical interest, such as ancient megaliths.
In integrated circuit fabrication, alignment is the step in a
photolithographic process in which a mask used to pattern a layer of
the circuit is registered in its x-y position with respect to the
wafer (usually silicon) on which the circuit is being formed.
In human language translation, alignment refers to matching source
language and target language segments after segmentation has been
performed a source text and its matching target language translation.
This is done for the purpose of creating a translation memory. Most
computer-aided translation tools with translation memory have
alignment modules.
The Alignment was also a political party in Israel from 1965 to 1992.

((I note that that party is no longr around in Israel due to the
efforts of VDare. Shhhh!))

Now protractors have several variations. In geometry, a protractor is
a circular or semicircular tool for measuring an angle or a circle.
The units of measurement utilized are usually degrees.

Some protractors are simple half-discs; these have existed since
ancient times. More advanced protractors, such as the Bevel Protractor
have one or two swinging arms, which can be used to help measure the
angle.

Bevel protractor
A bevel protractor is a graduated circular protractor having a pivoted
arm; used for measuring or marking off angles. Sometimes vernier
scales are attached to give more precise readings. It has wide
application in architectural and mechanical drawing although with the
availability of modern drawing software or CAD the tool is less
commonly used in that sphere.

Universal bevel protractors are also used by toolmakers, as they
measure angles by mechanical contact they are classed as mechanical
protractors.

If you were at all technical you would know this without my having to
tell you.
