"reduce" > would have been less easily confused. "lay off" is more of a slang term, it can mean stop or it can mean to reduce. As can be demonstrated be a typical usage "lay off the grog a bit", you can't stop a little bit, but you can reduce a little bit. Something I'd want people to lay off is having the NEWS discussion in this README thread. I specifically started this thread so as not to bother the NEWS thread with talk about README files. Seems it had the exact opposite affect. lol -- A big old stinking pile of genius that no one wants coz there are too many silver coated monkeys in the world.
