I appreciate the kind words - my involvement in the documentation was 
fairly limited; I helped Chris get the wiki set up, but then life took 
over my time, and Jim Holsenback stepped in and took the docs to the next 
level.

Credit where it's due - Jim Holsenback deserves the credit for the work 
on the documentation and getting it to where it is today. :)
