I responded to this sentence: |

I read that to mean "compare the base use.default with the other |
| 23 |
use.defaults file and note the differences." It could also read "look at |
| 24 |
the base use.default as well as the other use.default files." It was a |
| 25 |
case of semantics and an ambiguously worded sentence, not my inability to |
| 26 |
comprehend use.defaults. |
