As someone in the later beginning stages of learning J, I really 
appreciate your detailed explanations (along with those of Ric Sherlock 
and others).  Keep them up!  They contribute greatly toward 
understanding more of the "why" and "how" rather than just the "what" 
(as the DOJ does).  In a certain sense, the Dictionary is sort of like 
a bouillon cube: it's all there, but it takes water (detailed 
explanations) to turn it into a tasty broth.
