Yes, I have (and am) reading it. Description of the parameters does not
explain the basic philosophy behind amanda. Luckily I got a private mail
with a very good explanation which made it easier to understand the
parameters. In fact I think it was the level term which puzzled me. If
you can't grasp the level term it doesn't make sense to talk about
bumping from one level to another.
