it is a matter of learning your trade. We've all made mistakes at sometime or other. Some of us learn from them.
An intro should be relevant. And understood. Otherwise it is less than pointless.
I like to give a refference of some kind. At least to mention the writer's name. Some little humourous story goes down well.
