I am simple minded system admin, and IMHO instructions should be wrote
to people who instructions, and the contents should be what people are
struggling the most. My statistically insignificant sample is only me,
and I have had more than once a moment 'bloody git' moments. Therefore
I thought persons, like me who need instructions, would benefit from
text I added.

And yes I do understand that expect seasoned open source developers
know better, but let me remind that they hardly need the readme.

Touché. I wonder how this sending business should be done.
