I assure you that if it does seem to ease the pain we'd love to
include it.  A newbie knows what's confusing about the intro parts.
Once you've been around a while, you no longer even read those
intro things, and so don't know where they suffer.  "It's to hard
for me to understand" is a content-free complaint that is too often
heard, but "if you said, 'In this instance be sure to ...' in paragraph
three ..." is a clear explanation of what is wrong and how it might be
fixed that will definitely be read.
