That's why we created a couple of entry urls

Ah but you are dealing with a brain that always gets the fence/fence post count
wrong. It does not come easily even after repeated
training - so maybe I'm the one that

That door is open no matter what, it seems to me. It's not just people
clicking around your web site under your control that are affected.
Another Texinfo manual might have an xref to one of your nodes. That
