Something very much like this, and in the same spirit,
used to be on the first page of the IDL manual, years
and years ago. I was appalled when I read it and it was
the first sentence I deleted when I started work on the
IDL documentation.

In retrospect, I would have saved myself a LOT of
work if I had left it in. :-)

Cheers,

David
