Joe,
Ceri asked a legitimate question - EVERYONE is in a position to suggest
changes to the man pages, or indeed any other piece of documentation for
FreeBSD, many of which are adopted with a minimum of revision. If you have
suggestions on how the documents can be clarified, please tell us what you
found troubling so we can make them better.
I didn't find Ceri's comments to be inflammatory; I thought they were
simply an attempt to seek information. I, of course, don't know what the
intent of the question was, but I took it to be, "What didn't you
understand? Tell us so we can fix it."
I echo that sentiment now: Tell us what's wrong with the docs. The place
for such suggestions is the freebsd-doc mailing list, or if you have a
simple, specific problem, send a problem report.
Regardless, if you have problems with the docs, please tell us about them.
Matt
