From your other posts, Viktor, I was fairly certain that was what you meant
but I thought I would get a kinder, gentler disagreement put in before
certain others here attacked with vigor! (Hehe, if you get my meaning). I am
sure that more are familiar with relays than solenoids (or at least they
think they are) because they use the term relay and solenoid interchangable
rather than correctly but you are correct in the fact that the technical
correct term should take second place to the function as that is what is
important. Keep up the good work.

I've been around, I know the risks, trust me ;)

I agree. In order for people to relate, you have to mention the more used
term and I'd think more people know/think they know what a relay is compared
to a solenoid. I'm sure you understand.

Right. Technical advice is good for people who want to learn or might have
tech background. If someone wants to get a quick-fix I don't give them all
the tech-talk unless they specifically ask for it. I agree with you though.
This newsgroup is about learning and tech-talk is preferable. Glad you
pointed that out. Keep the information flowing. That's why we're here
afterall!
