Measure the ERD! I can understand Joe being particular about this. Instruction on how to measure the ERD are here:

http://www.sheldonbrown.com/rinard/spocalc.htm

Maybe infer what rim model you have from the ERD you measure, but not the ERD from the rim model you think you might have.

2mm more or less do make a difference! They hardly ever make it impossible to build a wheel, but (with the error compounded by rounding up or down to the next 2mm increment-which is the way most people stock spokes), they can make it unpleasant to build the wheel, and can result in a weaker wheel.
