Quite true.  It's just that there are some people who have, and continue 
to, been writing docs and I'd like them to get the props they deserve.
Trust me, I'm not looking to find more busy work or duplicate 
information.  I just want a reasonable set of names so that when people 
ask me, "So, who *is* writing all that doco?", I can tell them.
