Good things for our 'silent majority' to keep in mind.
I suspect that the majority of our readership are not site members.
Just e-book owners who want to add some feature to their device.
Here we have a site that gives away add-in features.
No charge, not even the requirement of registering as a member.
Over the years, the readership has learned that the things distributed here by our membership "just works" (and if not, we fix it quickly).
Almost too good to be true.

The careful owner probably asks themselves:
"Can this be for real? Can I trust these people / this site?".
Having a bit of the background discussed about what has become "public buzzwords" is probably a good way to spend the time while we all wait for the end of the month.
The actual technical details behind those buzzwords would probably be just boring reading to the non-technical readership here.
Our readership probably only wants to see that we are taking this matter seriously and trying to handle it in an accepted, responsible manner.
