You mention documentation above, but you don't say what you're
referring to.

What's wrong with the information in the handbook?

  it.
- You didn't submit an update.

I think what's more likely to offend is a complaint without

documentation--of course there are--but how can we fix them (if they
exist) based on your rant?
