Just some advice from a reader's point of view: The BBS-speak, with the 2's and 4's and U's is REALLY annoying. Unless you spend a LOT of time reading that type of language, it kills the flow of the sentence. For a short post, go ahead and use them. But for a long guide like this, it makes it appear immature and not worth reading, when in fact the complete opposite is true. It is similar to the looks I get from people in the northern US when they hear my southern accent. They ignore the content and focus on the delivery. Same thing happens here.

Just a tip. Great tree, and great guide. Keep it up.
