Protocols determine the standard way of doing something.

Sandman
No they don't. Maybe you mean "preferred" or something else.

Tony Cooper
This conversation can't progress until you do some research and understand what the word "protocol" means in this context. Also, look up "preferred". Try to understand the difference between "always do this" and "do this when it suits you".

Sandman
Aha, so now Tony thinks that "protocol" means "always do this"? Haha, yeah well - what can I say?

Tony Cooper
Yes, it means exactly that. Until you change it, the protocol will replicate using exactly the same steps whenever the program is initiated.

As I said:

But you're probably right - one of us sorely needs to look up the word "protocol", and NOT use that clown dictionary of yours.
