I would have the same difficulty, as it absolutely isn't enough by any
means, nor have I ever so maintained.

I do wish to reiterate that I have am not calling any person stupid. Very
smart people make really idiotic mistakes, though. I do maintain that there
are understandable, reasonable mistakes and stupid, idiotic ones. To see a
lot of stupid mistakes, just check out the Darwin awards.

But a wiki page with tips, things to look out for and things to avoid is a
very good idea. Looking forward to seeing it.

Jacqueline
