Thanks!  As a matter of fact, I can tell one other person that in the
upcoming release it that they won't be able to mess up like they did
today. That person, a newbie to installs of anything on the 'Net,
blogging, and many other things, but who's been around computers for
five years or so, crashed and burned with the same error today, twice,
on test areas I had set up on my site.  The second time he did it is
when he figured out exactly what was wrong.

For several others, who I am pushing to move to WP, I've modified the
screen and dropped in a message using bright red, 18-point type
directly above the box, giving the warning.  That way maybe they will
get the hint.  I'm making myself a note for later today to drop in
Mark's coding so they can't botch it.  That way I can remove my
message and let them do whatever they want.  If they don't read the
warning, they will get the pre-configured message.
