FYI, for those wanting to make risky experiments, for example Stu with
his VAT tax problems, you can make a copy of your <mumble> file, say
<mumble_test>, open that instead of your usual, and make your
experiments on that.  

If the experiments work, you can go on using <mumble_test>,
or you could rename the old one <mumble_bad_vat> and then name
<mumble_test> to <mumble>
