You need to insert "user" after "this" in the first addition.

It's tough to give a yes/no answer.  Had the patch been applied, _and_
had I read it with a lawyer's eyes, then yes, I would have known how it
actually works.  But my presupposition that pre-existing supplementary
membership in the group would insulate me from being prompted would
still likely be so strong that my inner lawyer would take a coffee
break, and I would miss the literal meaning even as my eyes scanned over
it.
