I wasn't aware of that ... perhaps the section of the guide you refer to could be revised? Anyway, in that context, I think having this section in isn't overkill, and would be good to leave in. The revisions look good - balanced, yet detailed enough that people reading it shouldn't get surprised by this behaviour. best regards, randy
