Well, I don't know about everybody else but I don't believe that the aim of 
this gentleman's OP was about being constructive, at all.

Like somebody had already said here, he was just a kid that threw a rock on a 
wasp's nest, didn't have legs to run fast enough, and now he is crying all 
over the place because he got stung.

So, to exhaust everything I have to say on this subject, I will try to 
translate the best I can, two popular sayings here in my country. 
I hope I can make their meaning get through.

To his criticism on documentation:

"To a good 'understander', a half-word is enough."

To his deliriously vague critique on FreeBSD in general:

"The dogs always bark. But the caravan steadily moves on."
