I never remember to read that paragraph at the top when I'm looking for the list. It's just too well hidden is a bunch of stuff that just screams "I'm a bunch of legal BS you don't want to read!" More obvious delimitation from the legal stuff would certaintly help though I'm not sure how to do it. On option would be to take an idea from a number of FAQs and add a section 0 to the document with meta information like legal stuff, where to get other versions, etc. -- Brooks -- Any statement of the form "X is the one, true Y" is FALSE.
