I don't believe I've seen it put quite that way before, but it does get |
| 13 |
the point across rather effectively, I think because one doesn't expect |
| 14 |
to see "worst" used in the context of a /good/ thing (just poorly |
| 15 |
advertised). I may just have to borrow it! =:^) |

I separated out that last sentence for emphasis, as it's just the plain |
| 27 |
truth. Too bad there isn't such a section. |

Hmm... I don't claim to be a coder, but I /have/ been told a few times I |
| 30 |
should think about joining the docs team, and given that in the FLOSS |
| 31 |
world, "There should be" is an invitation to make it so... Maybe I |
| 32 |
should ask around and see what some of the docs/handbook devs think of |
| 33 |
the idea of me doing a writeup for it. |
