and i've made it very clear that there are several of us "do-ing" it 
right now. your statements are all quite obvious but thanks for the 
reminders.

there is nothing in anything i've said that has asked others to revise 
the docs for me. It's too bad you didn't read because your post, other 
than being off the mark, is well crafted and must have taken you some time.

if you read again, though, perhaps you will notice that my post is in 
response to the sentiment that has been repeatedly expressed here, along 
the lines that (1) stop whining about the CLI, it is GOOD and FUN to do 
things from the CLI, (2) everyone should be a geek and the only way you 
will learn Drupal is to become one.

now i'll get back to what i have been DOing on the docs for a few weeks. 
thanks.
