Really? Is this a digression because you've already contacted LWQ's
author with suggestions? Have you posted anything to this list about
the specific problems you had with INSTALL?
If you think that new users aren't well served by the available
documentation, then you should contribute. Somebody else wrote qmail
for you. Somebody else wrote LWQ for you. You've even gotten help
from the qmail list.
Complaining about other posters won't help any new users. If that's
what you actually care about, try fixing the ``inadequate''
instructions.
