This may seem like a silly, trivial thread, but as someone who reads a lot of ill-specified documents, I assure you that this level of detail is one of the things that makes OpenBSD my first choice. It *really* *really* makes a difference to have documents prepared carefully and consistently. I've been mucking about with the penguin recently. About every five minutes, I wish I wasn't, often because of bizarre documentation. Many thanks to all who have ever worried about OpenBSD's FAQ, manpages and installation documents!
