  Part of the problem, is that many many people are not actually reading the docs. Just ranting/whining. Part of the 'tone' of the hitchhikers guide is probably in response to this. It is getting tiresome. Some of the posts are making me suspicious as well with virtually duplicate content from few hour old to one week old. (One user created a new account 'cause' he didn't like the nick on his old one, but refuses to indicate what his old one was and claims over a year in participation). I have posted many many responses to forum threads on how people can contribute only to be told they're to busy so they won't bother or someone else should just do it. So many new people seem to be used to the phpBB style where everything is kept in forum posts that are sticky in the forums. They don't bother even trying to read the handbook. Only in the last few days have we seen new people respond on this list (which is great, thanks).
