Unfortunately, much software documentation is unreadable or unuseable
because many technical people undervalue the importance of
documentation to the user and underestimate the difficulty of
producing first-rate documentation... It takes considerable SKILL to produce 
useable, readable documentation; when is the industry going to recognize this 
fact? ...The problem with the Nroff/Troff User's Manual is that it was written
by hackers for hackers.
