I have to agree that my mini-how-to is very specific.
Having looked at Anderson's how-to I think it should
form its own how- to for now.
On a larger note. there seems to be an inertia here to
removing or modifying old how-to's, esp the very old
ones, that could definitely stand to modified. There
just seem to be too many hoops to jump through before
a modification of someone's how-to is. Esp if that
someone one is no longer reachable. I didnt really
see a clear consensus on this.
