CONTEXT You should be able to recognize a good answer when you see one. And if you want good answers, intentional withholding of CONTEXT is not the way to go.

Henry, I entirely get your point about the context helping, but on this occasion I wanted to make sure those responding genuinely recognised the term and didn't just give random guesses (which I could do myself) from the context given. Add to that the comment I make in the discussion entry for the other related term/question posted re confidentiality. Hope that helps to clarify...
