You are right, of course. That is something that a log of us forget,
even if we outselves were bitten by that as well (not having the man
package installed).
That is one of the reasons we are _trying_ to come up with _something_
that wil eliminate this in the future. All this wasted bandwidth
could, I think, but better spent with making suggestions at this point
and _trying_ to refrain from bashing those that are made. There will
be plenty of time to do that when the the draft of the Guidelines is
presented to the list for review.
