Re Pairing Time Machine volume after logic board change

When a user has their logic board changed, Time Machine will no longer pair with the Mac because the MAC Address differs to that which Time Machine originally stored to identify what system it belongs to.

A recent post by Jeremy P from New Zealand was made against the following thread
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1871929&tstart=0
The post included a link to Mac OSX Hints and details the method to re-establish the Time Machine pairing - http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20080128003716101

Whilst it is a reasonably complex process for the beginner it is not for the medium to advanced user.

How can this suggestion be included at the top of the Time Machine forum?

Cheers
Chris
