For some time now I've been getting this -
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
Warning (initialization): Your `load-path' seems to contain
your `.emacs.d' directory: /home/boudiccas/.emacs.d/
This is likely to cause problems...
Consider using a subdirectory instead, e.g.: /home/boudiccas/.emacs.d/lisp
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
in my *Warnings* buffer.

These are the relevant lines from my "init.el"
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(setq load-path (cons "/home/boudiccas/.emacs.d/lisp" load-path))
(add-to-list 'load-path "/home/boudiccas/.emacs.d/personal-lisp")
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Why doesn't it accept what's in the "init.el" please, and what can I
do to put it right?

Thanks
Sharon.
