Sounds good to me, I'll look forward to the email in about a week.
Also my real name is Chris. I've updated my Yahoo! profile to reflect this as well.

Hi c w,
Thank you very much for volunteering! c w what is your real name?
I went to find the document and pulled it up into OpenOffice and see
that it is 25 pages long, and there are quite a few pages in there that
are simply not pertinent to Kicad.
So I have modified my opinion slightly in the direction of Wayne's
comments. This document was written about 10 minutes after C++ hit the
market, so that makes it about 20 years old, and in those days we were
over designing everything, including this document.
Maybe give me a week to whittle it down and then I will email it to you
to touch up.
OK with you?
