On this I guess we'll have to agree to disagree. There are issues that I have had help from here that definitely was not in the documentation. Also, the widespread understanding that the learning curve of NH is extremely steep I believe tends to give credit to my argument that it is lacking substance, not quality.
I would meet you in the middle somewhere and say that the reference tells you "most of everything" you would need to know if you already are quite experienced with NHibernate but for someone new to ORM's or NH it is not. Piecing together a bunch of blog posts to get something that should be in the documentation doesn't strike me as the optimal solution. While I am grateful that those blogs exist, the argument could be made that there would not be a need to post solutions to things that were straight forward in the documentation. Now don't go off on a wild tangent because of that statement, there are some things that are just far to complex to represent in documentation thus that is where the blogs and such would fill in the void (i.e. CpBT, Session Handling). I see that while I was writing this that Sam posted a response and he wishes this topic to be locked or closed so then I will respect that and I will no longer continue to defend my position. I think it is excellent that Fabio responded and aided him, thank you for that. Finally, I also thank all of you for both hearing me out and of course for your contributions and help in the past.
