Stefan - Follow up questions

You mention to not etch the component legends. I think I understand
part of the reason the outlines often line up with the pads shorting
everything out. However, I have just started etching some of the
textual matter on the PCBs as it is easiest for me with what I have
to work with. Is it okay to do this?

Realizing to be certain I am not shorting out any traces :-)
