No, the whole list stopped for most of the day yesterday (depending on where
your time zone is) and since then we've all been busy doing other things,
probably reading man pages :-)
Do you have as much trouble understanding man pages as I do? They make a bit
of sense once the material is familiar, but for learning how to do something
new it's pretty hard to work out. You need to be able to take a few concise
hints and extrapolate from there to discover how to make use of the info.
Is that how it seems to you or not? Have you ever seen anything that helps
people understand and use man pages in general?
