I'm not sure I understand that... you'll read the discussions, the total of which is a dozen times longer than the article, and interact on some of those discussions... yet, you would only "skim read" a much longer article? Then, you may want to scan the "scripts" section of this forum... most everything there is about the same length as this "article".

Just to clarify... my main objection has nothing to do with the length of the article. My objection is because the code doesn't necessarily provide the "nice availability and logging benefits" stated in the first paragraph of the article and additional research before writing the article would have shown that.
