Argh, how could I overlook missing a word -  I should've got more than 4
hours of sleep last night.

The problem I had with it before is that the druid was phrased as if it
was giving the user permission to skip the step, rather than the
choice.  I also thought that it was a bit too formal.

Patch again, omitted word replaced.  I prefer the more relaxed tone.
