Yea, sorry... Reading it back now it came over rather "cold", instead  
of the "helpful" that I meant it to be. The "why don't you go..." was  
meant as a suggestion and not as the stereotype sneer. My apologies...

Pwned! You've got me there!  Ouch...

Seriously, I was actually confused by that part of the documentation  
when I read it first because it never explicitly seem to say: go  
ahead and use this OID range. So thanks for bringing it to my attention.

Cheers!
