That's why I said my example was fictitious and that I had seen examples
like that but that they weren't necessarily Monster Garage. :)

I was talking on the irc channel last night about this some and plan on
removing the Even If Empty setting tonight.  I can agree that I'd rather
have to delete a couple duplicate episodes of CSI for instance than
to risk missing one. :)

So you can remove any reference in your draft docs about the Empty
setting since hopefully it will be backed out by tonight.  I don't want to
cause more confusion even if I think there are cases where I'd prefer
to use it over the other methods.
