Hmm.  So a dream world is the normal state of things...I guess really
should read this thing, if only to discover what other fantasies have
been made "real" through the magic of rough consensus.  However, since
this is a guide for the novice, I might remind folks that there is
chance that, lacking real experience, the novices in question might
actually believe what's in it  -- a dangerous prospect it seems.
