Yes, either would do well, Andy's is more friendly to the "normal" user 
(comp. unsavvy).

But the messages didn't turn out friendly because it was written by one of 
"our" type: an I.T. nerd / high priest, who disdains communications with and 
the intelligence of everyone except other I.T. nerds / high priests.

OK, we might be sensitive, but we never said we're perfect.  :-)
