Martin,

Thanks for the reply.

No worries. I'm a volunteer too. :)

Helpful, thanks.

Yeah, this hit the bulls-eye for me. The 5-for-1 rule is a great way to 
specify how newcomers can influence patch workflow w/o becoming 
spammers. [Brett: +1 on mentioning this in the updated Patch Guidelines]

Watch for another post once I've found the time to volunteer to review 5 
other patches. :)

Thanks again, all! Consider my original questions answered.
