Spud, just wanted to say that this tip of yours is an absolute "must" and to add , make a really good visual inspection afterwards to make sure its all clear.

A while back when doing my plug, I had a couple bits of gravel jamed low down between the plug and the plug recess. you can guess where they were going to go if i hadn't spotted them prior to removing the plug.

Indeed, the spark plug hole is poorly designed, and it collects a lot of small rocks/debris. I recommend using a flashlight and an inspection mirror, to make sure every bit of rock/debris is blown out of the hole.
