Hi Seb,

There's no need to be sorry for anything. Your howto is far from being 
sloppy. It's just that while each writer inevitably follows their own 
unique writing style (which is a good thing), there should still be some 
common stylistic guidelines that authors adhere to. Admittedly, at the 
moment, this very point does not seem to be mentioned anywhere in the 
wiki guidelines. I'll raise this topic to avoid future misunderstandings.

Regards,
Marcin
