The value of putting info where you /might/ manage to find it using google, if you're lucky, instead of right in the docs where users are looking first is somewhat tiny. > And while I agree most posters to this list could stand to do more work > themselves and not expect the list to do everything for them, not everyone is > comfortable using this new-fangled git thing yet; posting to the list may be > the extent of their comfort level. this new-fangled git thing is hosted on github - where you can submit doc corrections without using git at all, and quite easily too. Posting to the list instead of updating the docs (by any means) is just venting to satisfy your own conscience under the guise of being "helpful".
