The later comment about nothing being shared on the list served to nullify any politeness there may have been in the initial sentence, and, at least to me, you came across as jumping all over Jim - and if you came across that way to me, it probably came across that way to others as well. > > As far as looking in the book, yes I could have done it, and probably > should have.

Except that, with your experience editing the CLFS book, you should know there is heavy use of XIncludes inside the CLFS XML - a fact that personally I don't like, but it does make the XML archive a lot smaller, even if it doesn't make it easier to edit. I don't think it would have been that much of a stretch to think that the removed page might have been replaced by an XInclude to another part of the book that was identical. I know that I would have checked the rendered book before flying off like you did. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/cross-lfs FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
