OK, I finally took the bait and clicked on this link. For informational purposes, in case anyone else was considering it: it redirects to a drive.google.com page, which contains 5 files. Four of them are PNG images, and one of them is ".txt" but it contains subscripted letters. (This also explains some confusion I had with the author's previous email in which they referred to letters "A B C D E, where each of h, k, m, n and p is..." with no antecedent for the h, k, m, n or p. It turns out the A B C D E were actually supposed to be A<sub>h</sub> and so on, but the subscripts were lost in conversion somewhere along the line.) None of the images make any sense to me, but perhaps they will make sense to someone else. Two of them are renderings of web pages, but they're so tall that they are displayed with extreme resizing in my browser, and since those two images are composed mostly of words on a white background, the reduction in the size of the image of the words makes them unreadable to me. Actual text (or HTML) would be far superior to an image of a rendered web page. Now, I will also note that this poster has sent me private email telling me in flowery language to shut up and stay out of their threads. Screw you. I will respond when I feel there's a reason to respond. I also mention this primarily for informational purposes, to let others on the list know what kind of personality they're dealing with. I have yet to see an actual example of the work you're proposing to do. Show us one man page that you feel is lacking in its EXAMPLES section, and then show us the wiki page (on https://wiki.debian.org / -- I mean actually *create* one and then post its URL on the mailing list) with your contribution that you believe would be worth referencing in the man page.
