* Never use location in documentation or help instructions. The stuff may be "below" or "above" your help text now, but that doesn't mean it is always going to be like that (ie. prevent the possibility of future "incorrect" documentation).
I think user readability and clarity should take precedence over such a minor maitenance issue.
* You didn't do a spellcheck. What's "apporpriate"?
I will fix this. But I think you can guess what the word is supposed to be, can't you? Why the sarcasm? I'm a grown man not a schoolboy. From now on, please simply tell me: "You misspelled 'appropriate'" It's shorter and not insulting.
* I don't like the use of the word "many". It's extraneous, not finitely defined, and ultimately garbage.
I like it. It's succinct and everyone know what many means. I'm not writing an engineering text book, I'm writing a helpful, user-friendly paragraph. Thanks for taking the time and offering your other suggestions. I will incorporate them into the next revision.

Here's some more langauge improvements to the forum help text in the forum_help() function for the following Drupal pages: 'admin/forum': Got rid of technical jargon and improved readability and flow of sentences. 'admin/forum/add/container': added a concrete example for additional clarification 'admin/forum/add/forum': Got rid of technical jargo, improved readability and flow of sentences, added a concrete example for additional clarification.
