Nice! I added it to my page
http://www.ccrnp.ncifcrf.gov/~toms/latex.html#latex.tex.resources
but the reason I'm writing is to note what happened in your email.
Apparently you cut and pasted from somehere into a web form.
Unfortunately the result is a bunch of fused words and unreadable
text. The fused words were:
% spell < fusedwords
Itenables
alsosupports
anddocuments
automation

(I removed the irrelevant ones.)
This happens to me on my Mac. To avoid the problem, I usually write
my text in vi/vim and then format it to 80 characters wide using the
unix fmt tool. That's how I'm writing this email. I don't use cut
and paste on the text.
However, if one must cut and paste it into a web browser text window
(as in web based email), the result you got will happen.
To avoid THAT one can format the paragraph very wide:
fmt -w 1000
Cut and paste that output.
A REALLY nice solution would be to have full vim access inside web
browser text windows!!
