    I guess it's a good thing when one can commit such a public blunder and
    still manage to be somewhat helpful? If so I don't feel 'quite' so
    sheepish now. :)

    NOTE to $self: when you subscribe to Linux dev lists, the odds are
    _much_ greater that people who actually write the software you use _are_
    the people posting messages. Perform SENDER_IDENTITY_CHECK and
    SANITY_CHECK routines in the future before referring an author to his
    own documentation. ;)
