Dean, I think you mean "different from", not "different than".
This one differs FROM that one; it doesn't differ THAN that one.
Similar TO, different FROM.<br>
<br>
And I think you mean TOE the line, not TOW it. To stand in an
orderly obedient manner with the rest of the crew before the
captain of the Navy ship, barefoot on deck with toes lined up at a
seam on the deck.<br>
<br>
You should be banned for these errors. And I should be banned for
my pettifogging nit-picking nonsense.....<br>
<br>
Cordially,<br>
<br>
David.<br>
