Maybe someone "in the know" can update the help page? I did read the info there, more than once, before I started posting in this thread. The information doesn't always make sense (to me atleast), and googling can sometimes lead to contradictory information.
I'd be down with that. I ..uhhh.. volunteer as tribute? If anyone at Eligius needs help writing documentation or even just keeping it updated, I'm available.
Shoot me a PM or respond here if that's more prudent. I'll take no offense if my offer is declined, either.
