Sorry, this got buried in my mailbox.

Im not certain if we do this in general (I dont think that we usually do).
 However, this was helpful for me in the short term (and it seemed like it
would help someone else as well).  Since the latter didnt happen to be the
case, Im fine with removing this if you are opposed to it.
