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. > I am not going to try to justify my > actions for you. There is no point. A fact which I made explicit in my first post on this subject. There is no point in your trying to justify your actions. > Through my comments a few people have decided to put some effort into > improving documentation and I am going to help in that effort. > > These efforts will result in a new site, greasydaemon.com. 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.
