@Heike It depends a lot on the time of day. During the Australian afternoon, there is quite a leisurely pace, but also not many questions posted and I am at work anyway.
@Heike the song is from what some call their best album, and the die hard fans call a sell out. I think playing it alongside the San Fransisco Philharmonic elevates it even further. It's layered and it's lyrical.
@yoda do not underestimate the effectiveness of fine-level copy-editing. You can usually cut out 5-10% of your text without reducing content, even if you are a reasonably good writer. Try circling all the nouns ending in "tion" and see if you can shorten the sentence by changing it to the verb it originally came from and redrafting. Lots of other tricks too.
It would be nice to have this extended with some info on how to integrate docs into the doc centre, how to allow auto-loading or uninstallation in the doc centre (as in the case of "applications" that ship with Mma)
This might be of general interest – I have different questions regarding naming conventions, contexts, subcontexts, shadowing, etc., but I do feel that they are closely related, thus I don't really want to split this post into three.

@Verbeia Unfortunately, some of us are no native speakers and are glad to get away with the simplistic language we have to use in science. Oh how I would like to publish in German, where I can express myself and have a feeling even for the very little differences in expressions..
And by the way, German is so much richer than English ;-) I assume @Szabolcs can state the same. His language is even harder.
@halirutan the point of these books is all about simplifying language and avoiding wordy, abstract styles of writing that are very common in academic prose. My German is not good enough to write much at all (and slowly declining now I'm back in Australia), but I agree that the language has many useful shades of meaning.
@JM I just tried out the inform moderator flag feature on this site. You can take a look. BTW I can never find you with this black avatar :/ I am always looking for green or yellow.
I'll just throw in a few random thoughts in no particular order, but this will be a rather high-level view on things. This is necessarily a subjective exposition, so treat it as such.
