I always agree with anyone who makes a logically sentient observation, as
Paul just did, where I think we don't need to test this PSA all that much.

The PSA was simply meant as a warning to think about IF it happens to you.
In the future.
 With any browser.
  On any platform.
   Using any $EDITOR.
    Or windowing system.

I wish I had known about this PSA before I had written it.
Knowing pitfalls helps us avoid them, or fix 'em  or at least understand
them so that we can create a workaround (as I did with shortcuts.xml).

The simple solution would have taken seconds, instead of many hours.
Had I only known the solution is add a character & then delete it.

The PSA is simply just that.
A public service announcement.

I'd love to know stuff that's gonna happen to me BEFORE it happens!

An example is over the summer I had a total loss of hearing in an ear and I
didn't take it seriously but only later found out it's like a heart attack.

Had I known it was a medical emergency, I would have called an ambulance.
But it didn't 'feel' like a medical emergency (even though it was).

After a month of living in a compression/decompression chamber as a result,
I wish someone had written a PSA for me to be more attentive to situations.
