There are some people om mailing lists you *never* argue
with. On this 
list, Devin Rubia is one of them (another is Sam
Varshavchik). You may 
chide them, argue *never*. I try sometimes with Devin, but
he invariably 
wins. I never try with Sam, since he's a gentleman and never
replies to 
chaff.

Examples: On the Postfix list you don't argue with Wietse
Venema, Victor 
Duchovni, Magnus Bäck or Noel Jones. On the OpenLDAP list
you don't 
argue with Howard Chu, Quanah Gibson-Mount, Pierangelo
Masarati, Matthew 
Hardin and a number of others.

Your well reconsidered reply might (to your own advantage)
have been: 
"You presume I have manpages on my servers. I don't.
Please advise me 
how to obtain them".

Everybody who installs Sam's stuff, either through rpms or
source code, 
gets man pages. *Unix/Linux people can not work without man
pages* - or 
derived html stuff.  Why do you not have them?
