Don't beat yourself too much; headers ain't fun to read and it is
easy to overlook things. I know I have, many times, and I'm sure
most others have also. And multiple readings of the same thing
doesn't help a lot; you see what you expect to see.
Then there is the problem of reading from a computer monitor. It
is difficult even for someone with perfect vision when the eyes are
tired. My vision is defintely not perfect and I *detest* reading
from a computer monitor.
Which brings me back to my old plea of, could we have a printed
1.8c manual, please? A good one, with a good index please. And
for "good index" please do not use the indices in most computer
manuals as a guide for a good index as all the ones I have seen
are abysmal.
As I've said before I'll cheerfully pay for it and for updates,
as long as delivery is better than for the t-shirts. :-)
If a proper plain ascii manual (and converted from some wordprocessing
system is not proper as it never converts entirely correctly) is not
going to be made available for free I will gladly pay for a good printed
manual, with updates.
I've said all this many times before, and I'm going to continue saying
it. I want a good printed manual (loseleaf notebook style for ease of
installing updates would be fine) and I am willing to pay for it,
as long as there is a good index (see Isaac Asimov's nonfiction books
for examples of good indices).
