Hi Guys,

I understand that if I'm fully learned up on git, AND I know the solution to
the issue found, it's probably very simple to make a patch.  The thing is,
I'm not skilled in git yet, and yes, I know this is an opportunity to
learn.  Right now I don't have time.  By removing my issue you're saying
that if I'm unable to make the patch, you don't want to hear about the
issue.

I guess my point is that if you're choosing not to accept issues where the
documentation is inconsistent with how the framework works, and you're not
accepting issues where the documentation is wrong, then you're losing an
opportunity to improve the framework/docs when the people finding these
issues aren't in a position to make a patch.  If someone finds an issues and
logs it, then they my be back to fix it when they have time.  But, I haven't
really followed Rails core, and maybe that just doesn't happen here.

That's about the extent of my caring for now.  :-)  It comes down to "IMO
removing valid issues just because they involve docs is a bad idea".  Moving
on..

Tim.
