[ic] Pee-Poor Documentation Rant

[John Beima]

You know what Jim, I TOTALLY agree with you here and on the point that they need
to write a book that bridges the gaps for less experenced users and the perl
programmers. (I don't like the word dummies... Actually ignorant is a far better
word, since it simply means "lack of knowledge".)

As I said, I use this as a far better solution over php all the time... I have
over 200 domains running Interchange that sell NOTHING! They are information
sites... Leading to getting the customers on the phone, for the sales teams to
sell them what they need as opposed to what they want.
