Written down, slightly repetitive walk-throughs from first 
concepts to implementation that don't assume too much 
context are very useful to us slightly overworked 
maintainers with an attention span of a slightly retarded 
golden retriever. (Make the story interesting and mix in a 
few jokes and you've got our attention for sure!)

So please do explain verbosely, especially if a review 
discussion turns somewhat discordant, it's a useful tool.

Thanks,

	Ingo
