Believe it or not, I actually try to read man pages, FAQs, wikis, books,
etc. I have been writing how-to manuals and designing and executing
training programs in non-computer-related subjects for more than 30
years and in two languages. The above resources - as wonderful as they
and their authors are - are largely incomprehensible to the non-techie
reader, especially me. Man pages inevitably leave me confused and
frustrated rather than enlightened. So, your patience in helping me is
greatly appreciated.
