Of course Don was being sarcastic. However, the immediate reply was in
the affirmative (and of course, he was quoting something very
similar).

As I said, there are more recent threads where similar comments are
made. I did not think it necessary to provide them, as they all seemed
to follow in the same vein. If that is not official policy, nor the
attitude of the developers here, I apologize for bringing it up. And I
certainly didn't intend to start a fight, I was just repeating what
was said in the archives, as an explanation of why there wasn't more
documentation and examples.
