I'm sorry to read this, because it's grossly unfair. I didn't say I cannot be bothered to read the patches, I said that it's a formidable job which will have to wait until I have enough free time for it. When I do have that time, I _will_ read the patch. I'm grateful for your work, and I don't question your competence in this matter, but since I'm the responsible person for the manual, you cannot expect me to blindly approve patches without carefully reviewing it. > As I said, the diffs are big because the original text was in such > bad shape in terms of grammar, spelling, and formatting, not because > I made any substantive changes to its content. The problem is, I need to actually see the differences, and you made it hard for me to do that quickly. I usually review 99% of changes to the manual within 24 hours since they are posted, but with such a jumbo patch where almost every line has one or two words modified, I gave up after trying to read it for maybe half an hour or so. Thanks.
