My response was "They're LM 5 Working on LilyPond project".  Granted,
I missed the word "in", but why would you expect to find the word
"best practices"?

We don't appreciated condescending responses either, but we volunteer
hours each week to improve the documentation, bug handling, and reply
to condescending users who want to be hand-fed.

Ironically, Phil was replying to you so that *I* wouldn't reply; I'm
well-known for being condescending to users who complain about silly
things and make the devel team feel bad.  I think that anything which
makes volunteers less likely to work on lilypond should be
discouraged.
