I agree. I thought of that when I wrote it, but if it were spelled out on a
web page or maintained in some other way, eventually newbies would have a new
resource of reference to talk to the not so newbie. It would also smooth over
the occasional who did it first tiff that sometimes arises. I don't know,
just my thoughts.
