Hiya Ben, It was me, I picked up this very awesome content from your blog after one of our many conversations about migration info on verbal agreement from you. Please add the appropriate attribution to the page/cc license, whatever, you have permissions. My apologies, I meant no disrespect whatsoever. The page also needs updating, I ran it by David Comay two weeks ago, but we didn't have a chance to go through in detail regarding 'modernization' changes in 2008.05 that might change some it. Thanks again for all of your help to make our docs great and please add your name/info to any pages that I might have overlooked, it was completely unintentional.
