Well, actually, Steven, I found yours more useful in that it makes it 
much more clear where specifically the miscommunications (in both 
directions) are happening. Because of this, it will take longer to reply 
(and very much deserves a deeply considered reply). This is just a word 
to say I will be doing so in the next day or so.

Meanwhile, in short:

- yes, I am somewhat of a geek.

- the word "HOUR" in my post was a typo, was supposed to be "HOURS" 
(maybe 15 or 20 just to get a successful install of D6)

- yes there have been specific arguments made here against making the 
docs easier for persons of my experience level (or less), I will go back 
and quote them for you

- once again, my case is NOT against the docs or against the people who 
wrote them, it's against a meme happening here and I'm not the only one 
who has picked up on it

- THANK YOU for the work you've done on the docs

- I am not and have no intention of writing a book instead of 
contributing :-)
