It would certainly add length, but you could minimize the addition of

For the Gearheads....
We won't bore you with excess details, but for more info on the trick

Sorry, not sure where to link off the top of my head, but if anyone
thinks it's a good idea I'll look it up on request.

Personally, I'm a bit behind on my P6, but I think this is a good idea.
I'd be happy to contribute something, and though my time is short like
everyone's these days, please feel free to contact me here or offline
with requests or suggestions. If you like, I could even try to
ghost-write an article or three. I'll go look over the list and see if
there's anything I feel competent to work with (but feel free to tell
I'm a schmuck and I shouldn't bother if I don't post more. =o)
