Great, then go write one.  But whether you write one or not, for the
love of God, please just quit talking about it.

Well, that's your opinion.  Again, not really relevant; I don't really
care.

Okay, I'm not even completely sure what that means.

Oh, I'm sorry, I guess "right in front of your face" is too hard for
you.

No, we do need documentation, and we have it.  The problem with the
wiki is that for as much good, useful content written by smart people
that there was, there was an equal amount of misleading information
written by people like you who didn't / don't have a clue as to what
they're talking about, which ended up confusing more people than it
helped.

Again, the idea that it is awful is your opinion, which we've already
established that I don't care about.  Neither should anyone else.

Yup, they do.  We worked with some authors who were paid by IBM to
write articles which we reviewed.  It's called partnering.

Uh, no we're an Open Source project, we do this in the hopes that
people won't donate.... uh, hello?

Again, I'm sorry that you have a problem seeing things right in front
of you.

Um, CakeForge.  Oh, right, I forgot, you have that one problem.

Yup, we have all kinds of good examples of that stuff already.

Nope, we're not blind, but also not stupid (and most of us can form
coherent English sentences).

Yup, that's why we're here.

K, I guess that's an.... interesting... analogy.

Well, I suppose there are no more bad words than what you wrote about
the project, and by extension, the people who work on it.

K thought about it.
