 ;; and use the #include command to include your todo list file as part
 ;; of your diary.
 ;;
+;; Another nifty feature is the insertion accuracy.  If you have 8 items
+;; in your TODO list, then you may get asked 4 questions by the binary
+;; insertion algorithm.  However, you may not really have a need for such
+;; accurate priorities amongst your TODO items.  If you now think about
+;; the binary insertion halfing the size of the window each time, then
+;; the threshhold is the window size at which it will stop.  If you set
+;; the threshhold to zero, the upper and lower bound will coincide at the
+;; end of the loop and you will insert your item just before that point.
+;; If you set the threshhold to i.e. 8, it will stop as soon as the window
+;; size drops below that amount and will insert the item in the approximate
+;; centre of that window.  I got the idea for this feature after reading
+;; a very helpful e-mail reply from Trey Jackson <tjackson@ichips.intel.com>
+;; who corrected some of my awful coding and pointed me towards some good
+;; reading.  Thanks Trey!
+;;
 ;; Enjoy this package and express your gratitude by sending valuables
