That is a very GOOD idea, considering the number of questions requiring the 
advice of “remove folder xxx from the folder yyy”, something that has fooled 
many Mac users of Openoffice, me included.  

My impression is that the question on the list requiring the standard response 
has appeared at least more than once per day lately.  If we consider that as a 
guess that less than 10% of users (maybe less) who have met that condition and 
have reached the list and asked for a solution, the solution is very much 
overdue.
