Unnecessary, but it's nice to see people jumping to the aid of others around
here instead of body-slamming them.

Geoff, I've done a bit of page layout in my time, and I don't think I ever
said anything about doing page layout in Word. I'm crazy, perhaps, but I'm
not stupid. I'm also not saying he needs to do the full layout of the thing
in Word; I just want a version of the information in a format that is, for
me, easier to work with than the damnable Acrobat format.

Having done it, I know how difficult and time-consuming it is. Please don't
jump to the conclusion that I'm just bitching for the sake of bitching. I'm
not.

I never once took credit away from Adam, and I'd really appreciate it if
you'd come down off you high horse and stop putting words in my mouth.
