I used my judgment, made a decision that seemed clear to me, and applied
it consistently throughout my documents. I did this again with another
style issue. And still another.
Does anyone here think a user will fail to understand the information

justify wasting time talking about it?
Those are serious questions, if anyone can actually answer them.
Otherwise, perhaps we've reached the end of this thread (he asked
