An editor I showed it to said that I had to dumb it down and make it less conversational, so I thought I would post the draft here for your comment.
East Example Code By James Christian Ladd The structuring of code to an East orientation decreases coupling and the amount of code needed to be written, whilst increasing code clarity, cohesion and flexibility.

Being that the image is almost certainly in Linux ext format and I found no easy way of mounting it in Mac OS X or Windows I was rather pleased when I stumbled upon Beeno’s page of the extracted files.
