  Are more useful examples needed?  Yes.  Can the manual be
  improved?  Yes.  Will new better examples in the manual
  solve 80% of all problems?  No.  Do I want people like
  Hitcho to work on the manual?  Hell yeah!  Are my comments
  meant to be rude?  No.  Should people read the manual?  Yes.
  Do people who post to the lists currently read the manual?  
  Mostly No.  Should they?  Yes.  Should they also do searches
  with google/archives before asking?  Yes.

Regards,
Philip
