There is no conflict. The documentation clearly says, "Read the
mailing lists." You did not read the mailing lists. I have never disagreed
that it would be nice to have more information on the page about
_additional_ sources of information (like UPDATING), but you didn't follow
the steps clearly prescribed for you, so we have no evidence that you
would have read the UPDATING file if you _had_ been told it was
important. In fact, you specifically stated that you did not want to read
a whole bunch of readme files.

A fact which I made explicit in my first post on this
subject. There is no point in your trying to justify your actions.

As I said, the documentation project can always use fresh blood. I
suggest you subscribe to doc@freebsd.org so you can get an idea of what's
happening currently. Or, you can just use this whole pointless exercise to
promote your web site. Either is fine with me, as long as you spend more
time making constructive contributions instead of sending pointless
e-mails to the list.
