1) The first time I read it (about 2 years ago) I misunderstood it, merely
   triggered by questions like yours.
   I then got the correct understanding of it by looking at our local
   net. However, when I read your mail, I remembered my first understanding
   (which was wrong). So I apologize for leading to confusion.

2) Thanks to Mark ("Gaijin") Crispin for correcting me.
