I don't think I would have done that exactly, my style is usually doing something totally way out and creating the most weird error messages ever seen on the planet :). What does continually amaze me is how simple most things are in unix once one knows how to do it .... 99% of the problems I've experienced have resulted from inability to figure out what on earth the documentation is saying, and thats usually because the writer has assumed readers know far more than many actually do.
