I'm going to go ahead and nip this in the bud.
If you have specific suggestions, as Steve does, that feedback is
welcome. Otherwise, I'm going to ask that you stop flooding the
mailing list with your periodic, unhelpful "the manual is useless!"
diatribes. In practice, they are wholly unpersuasive and accomplish
nothing except irritating those who have contributed to the manual
or might be inclined to do so in the future.
