+# - i couldnt really understand why we would use this module 'after' we created the
+#   'testuser' w/ an ssh key.
+#
+#   tldr; you don't !!!!
+#
+#   - the correct way to use this is if u have a list of users and their public keys
+#     stored on the controller node.  then when you create a managed node
+#     you can loop thru creating new users on it and add their public keys to that
+#     new node in a playbook.
