Hi, Tim. For the purposes of improving that page of mine linked
above, would you mind highlighting what made it less useful
than the last two links? On the surface, it seems to match your
use case pretty closely. Was there too much information? Too
little? Poor formatting? Just didn't feel right? I've a small set
of security-related pages in train and I'd rather produce something 
which people find useful.

Thanks
