I already explained this in my post of yesterday in this thread. I've been the TeX admin at our university in my student times. I've been creating styles and \shipout macros. I know this stuff inside out. Heck, I've even read good parts of the source to understand some finer points.

Yes? Experience and skill are good things and should be encouraged!
