David, Could I use your "upgrade your tools or your thinking or both." clause as a proverb/adage in presentations. Do you want your name also put as the author? Cheers, Jamshed F. Mehta.

  I personally wouldn't use this quote to create more tension and hostility. This sort of attitude is why people get frustrated with open source projects that don't have proper documentation, GUIs, tools, etc and when the creators come across as arrogant when people ask questions. You would be wiser to spend your time explaining the XBRL technology through tutorials, viewer/validator tools and the like, in order to increase adoption.

  Don't do it! Only someone with a sense of smug superiority would use such a phrase. True or otherwise, is that what you want? Besides, someone might think your work for KPMG and you really don't want that.
