Let me second those thanks!
BTW, if you ever revise it, I noticed one minor omission in the discussion of
using the -p option to mkdir: as well as building a whole path in one go, it
also prevents mkdir from erroring out if the destination dir already exists,
meaning that you don't have to use "-mkdir" and potentially ignore real errors
as well as (irrelevant) EEXISTs. I'm sure you're aware of all that, but your
target audience might not spot the implication if you don't make it explicit.
cheers,
