I'm sorry, Neil, what is the point you're making? You may not 
understand it straightaway but with a little bit of work and patience 
you can get to know the system. The benenfits of LaTeX which have 
been highlighted on this list on many occasions surely must make it 
worth the effort.
Cheers
Paul
