Na, not stupid. It does tend to slip under the radar a lot - I think prior to this it was mentioned explicitly in an essay contest, because of a variation in the word limit. I'd personally like it to be a stopgap measure rather than something relied on, though - unexpected issues crop up, and if they happen, then we have it as a fallback, but it's not something we should be constantly resorting to? If that makes sense.

(You've nothing to apologise for, by the way. ^^; )
