The writing isn't necessarily targeted at you.

That's probably the case here. procmail is used mainly by those who use a text-based e-mail reader; for most people, the filtering system in their graphical browsers is enough for sorting their mail. Those who use a text e-mail reader are likely to be fairly hardcore geeks, and therefore not likely to miss clear instructions or full explanations. In fact, they probably want just enough so that they can start playing around for themselves.

"No safe house in Birmingham, I found no peace in Skye,
The green fields of Derry were just another lie,
Wrap the barbed wire round me, say I don't belong,
Kick me till I couldn't move, then tell me to move on."
