Adding a capacitor between ground and reset pin

I'm putting this here because my question relates to programming and using the bootloader. Sorry if it's the wrong place.

Atmel application note 1619 recommends adding a capacitor across the reset pin and ground.

Will the DTR reset connection still work if I do this? Surely the point of adding a capacitor across the reset pin and ground is to stabilise the voltage on the reset pin. So I'm thinking that if the voltage is stabilised too much, the DTR reset pulse will no longer work.

I could try it, but I'd rather not solder it in place, then have to cut it out, and waste a capacitor.

Thanks for any advice.

any cap between Reset and Gnd will prevent DTR reset trick from working.
