Yes. I would do it, providing the following:

	1. I get to abuse users for free, thereafter.
	2. I don't write anything about hebrew suppoort (about which I
	   don't know anything anyway).
	3. I am allowed to use Latin, Anglo Saxon and Welsh with impunity.

Note that (3) is optional.

To a more serious reaction to the troublesome priest's suggestion - 
Tuvia, quis custodiet ipsos custodes? How will you make the newbies read 
the FAQ! if they don't bother reading normal documentation?
