No need to apologize, been there ;-).  Careful with removing the 
"ACTION=="add"", I think this is letting the system know what to wait 
and look for... ok kernel, when something is added from the 
usb_subsystem that looks like this and made by these guys, then go ahead 
and execute this.  So unless the system defaults to watching for an 
"add" action it may kill a critical link.  This is part of the stuff I 
am still learning so hopefully someone else can explain why or why not 
better than I.  Let us know how it works.
