i don't think any of the regulars here get off on knowing all the
answers to everything. that said, being the person who wrote the answer,
Eli knows it. as it happens, the part you were interested in was the
last paragraph of the answer. the fact that it is a faq means many other
people than you have asked about it and an answer in the FAQ needs to
cater to them too. there is nothing preventing you from (politely)
suggesting improvements. if you insist on personalized help without any
effort on your part, you can, of course, try to pay someone for that.
that might actually be useful for you, as i (not that you need my help)
have a tendency to ignore requests for help from people who don't seem
to be able to appreciate it.
