He didn't consider it an important enough topic to warrant a wiki page without first going through the new page clearing procedure. I'm not interested in getting into an argument with the admin focused super-user so I will just do it his way (we may…

glad to hear Wolfhound is involved: its hard to be sure as I owe major debts to several folks here, but I think he has helped me more than almost anyone since I started here (not all of it on the forums). @ Belrathius: I not sure I agree 100% …
