I'm not so sure about that either. :-) You previously used the phrase "should be precisely like this". However, "should" implies that it preferred but not mandatory, as in "must". There is no indication in your suggested phrase change that negative consequences would or could result upon failure to heed the suggestion. Also, I would question the use of "should" and "precisely" in the same sentence. Even then, I feel it is likely that some people will be convinced and take the message literally and conclude the first line "must" read: 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost and that is certainly not the case. -- Where it is a duty to worship the sun it is pretty sure to be a crime to examine the laws of heat. -- Christopher Morley
