It's great to see someone who reads something in depth! Thanks for taking the time and commenting. :-) My point with with the comment "Logging in directly as root user is a bad idea — even in examples" was that you should have enough pre-requsite knowledge to understand why that is bad, and that you should not follow my examples 100%. That and I was poking fun at myself for being sloppy. :-)
