You know, was there really a point in this?

= I'm a volunteer.  I spend about 40 hours a week working on Gentoo= stuff,
besides my normal 40 hour a week job.  You're complain= ing because what I
volunteer on wasn't done to your satisfaction?  Seriously, ke= ep this
kind of opinion to yourself.  I don't care to hear it,= and it doesn't
contribute anything to the conversation.

What did= *you* do to help get documentation done?
