Seems the mentioned phrase (See also ...) is used such often thanks to
some laziness of www team. I'm personally always trying to produce
variations, instead of just copying "See also ...", which sounds too
lifeless for me. So I'd prefer to continue writting this on my own.

Well, this way usually creates extra load on native english speakers,
who compeled to fix my errors, but this is another story :-)
