I think it's not that the manual is lacking, so much as people expect it to
be much more than a manual. You want something to teach you to play the
instrument. A manual simply tells you what each button does... You want
teachers, and that is much of why this list exists. You can all share and
teach each other.

that's very kind of you to say. But how about tell us your way of
understanding it? Perhaps that way makes sense for others as well, and
serves to help them learn. Share your ideas!

Matthias' and my way of understanding and describing is certainly not the
only way. Hell, we don't even agree with each other half the time. :-)
