I did actually, not that it's really relevant. I also looked back through the aosp commit logs and found a grand total of 1 commit that he made, but that's not really relevant either as it doesn't really PROVE anything... My frustration was based on the fact that I was looking for a solution to a problem, and found almost exactly the same couple of paragraphs that he posted here in several other places as well, all of which were pertaining to different problems, and none of those problems were related to the information he was providing. Now I'm not saying that it was malicious, and he may in fact have just been trying to help, but the fact still remains that the information was inaccurate, regardless of any good intentions.
