And I wrote some comments

- org-directory :: Different directories for work & personal.
- org-agenda-include-diary :: I like to use %%diary-anniversary MM DD YYYY).
- org-agenda-sorting-strategy :: Change `todo' sort.  It drove me
     crazy that #A items could appear at the middle or bottom of list.
- org-agenda-start-on-weekday :: Different at work or home.
- org-agenda-todo-ignore-scheduled :: Keep global todo list less cluttered.
- org-annotate-file-storage-file :: I find org-annotate-file very useful.
- org-attach-method :: My first Unix didn't have symlinks....   :-/
- org-attach-auto-tag :: I don't like the default tag, but I think
     it's useful to see until you get used to how attachments work.
- org-completion-use-ido :: Ido has its quirks but is worth using.
- org-confirm-elisp-link-function :: I generally prefer y-or-n-p everywhere.
- org-default-notes-files :: I like my notes with my other org files.
- org-hide-emphasis-markers :: I got used to this from using Planner.
     Not for everyone.
- org-id-method :: I think this was from when uuidgen was not the
                   default, I probably don't need this any more.
- org-link-mailto-program :: I use `mutt'.
- org-log-done :: I like to be able to enter a note at every state
                  change.
- org-mairix-display-hook :: For [[mairix:] ] links.
- org-mairix-mutt-display-command :: Mutt command when showing linked msg.
- org-remember-templates :: Make the Todo template look more consistent.
- org-return-follows-link :: This feels right to me.
- org-reverse-note-order :: Sometimes I want this, sometimes not....
- org-special-ctrl-a/e :: Useful.
- org-special-ctrl-k :: Useful.
- org-time-stamp-rounding-minutes :: Move quickly, and I don't need
     great precision anyway.  What I'd *really* like though is to have
     S-up move by this value and then have C-S-up move by 1.  Then I
     could zoom in on any time value quickly.
- org-todo-keywords :: Being able to define your own is great!
- org-todo-keyword-faces :: Sometimes these faces are forgotten (or
     ignored?) when I create a new frame on a different display.
- org-use-fast-todo-selection :: Very handy.
- org-publish-project-alist :: I don't use publishing very often.
- org-link-abbrev-alist :: Very handy!  I wish I could think of a way
     to execute something without confirmation though.  But perhaps
     that is too dangerous...
