Well, You kind of make my point for me, in a backwards sort of a way.
You see, it's all of the quirks, shortcuts, and workarounds that make
these installs good information. Sometimes seeing the 12 different ways
that other people solved the same problem can inspire Lucky #13 [me].
And posting it up on at least a semi-organized web page saves me from
having to dig through 13,000 emails to find what kind of @%$# relay I
*should* have ordered...

If Jon were to do this, then it could be right next to the viper fan
installs on the DML page... [hint, hint]
