The growing number of user-friendly sites makes it obvious that much of the stuff just doesn't make sense to many users. I did subscribe to the docs list for a while in the hope that I could help to make a little difference, but those guys speak some language from another galaxy !!! Has anyone ever considered the possibility that documentation comprehensible to regular users might cut down on the hundreds of questions posted to this list daily ??
