    Here's some ancient wisdom on the subject:

        "Doc, it hurts when I do this."
        "So don't do that."

        If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

        Let sleeping dogs lie.

        Life's too short.

    If you can't break yourself of the compulsion to tweak obsessively,
    why not just print the document and slap REAL post-it notes on it?
