You are certainly welcome to do as you please. What I was expecting from "UsingNexus" is that it would be a minimal "howto" (i.e. follow the instructions and it works) but people have added alternatives to some steps which, at some point, ceased to work (or might be working on their machine pending some additional configuration files and/or scripts/plugins not mentioned there). All this was extremely frustrating (in addition to my own mistakes as a newbie). I don't think that such a document is useful if it contains more than a minimal, complete, and not redundant, set of instructions: when it starts duplicating parts of another manual or providing several ways to achieve the same goal, it becomes rapidly obsolete and next time someone needs it, he's up for checking and correcting the document rather than performing the task which the document is supposed to help achieving...
