It's all about "knowing your hierarchies and Sub-Sets" I guess (which you apparently don't).

Because when you read the following sequence in a sentence:
"... an F1- (a.k.a. Race-) car ..."

You will certainly not flame the author for trolling.
The Set- SubSet-sequence in this case being:
[ [ [F1-cars] Race-cars ] cars ]

And back to the topic at hand, the set - sequence below is also a given (on the win-platform):
[ [ [modal-windows] owned-windows] windows ]

Now you come along and state explicitely:
"Modal (windows) and Owned (windows) are different things".

Which (switching back to the cars) is the same as saying:
"An F1-car and a Race-car are different things".

Whilst in a certain way both statements sound "somehow true" -
seen logic- and set-wise they are not really, because:
- An F1-car *is* a Race-car ... period.
- A modal-window *is* an owned-window ... (on the Win-platform).

Both points of view have their merit though because whilst an F1-car is certainly a race-car:
- not *all* Race-cars are F1-cars
- and not *all* owned Windows are modal ones
...but calling someone a troll for his "more formal understanding of logic or set-hierarchies" is just rude (and wrong).

And there you have already the difference between Pros and Hobbyists (since you asked about it).

I'll leave your other remarks without comments (they speak for themselves already).

If you read the message(s), we were talking about modal windows, he said "modal a.k.a. owned", and just started to make the whole conversation about owned windows, as if that were the requirement to solved the OP problem of modality.

To be owned is not a requirement, really, for the modality. It may be a good practice, even a convenion (I still would like to read were that convenion is).
The proof is that the OP solved the problem without making the window owned.

If you don't disable the other windows, you can make a window all the owned that you want, and it will never be modal.

PS: I see that you learned now what "a.k.a." means.
And no, modal windows are not "also known as owned windows".
