If the Ubuntuguide was on the wiki, I edit it myself to fix the errors
as I find them. If it was from the ubuntu-doc team, I'd pester them
with patches. People seem to have a hard time contacting Ubuntuguide,
that does not make it easy to get corrections done.

some time. Perhaps it should retire gracefully. The breezy guide is
basically a copy and paste of hoary with minor edits, and it seems they
haven't been checked. The fact that it is completely i386 centric can
cause trouble too.

At least you didn't make comparisons between me and a nazi, like
another more thin-skinned indivdual did. I suppose I should be happy,
after all it seems I've offend a few poeple without even trying, that
must be some sort of a skill.
