I'm not sure you did read it or, if you did, you paid any 
attention to what was really said.

re: "(The idea that in the absence of proper documentation 
new users can go to the Delphi Basics site is laughable.) "

That is not a recommendation or excuse from CodeGear, but my 
own suggestion.  It has worked out fine for me, as a new 
user.  It's not laughable, but a workable solution. 
Likewise, investing in Cantu's works and reading them cover 
to cover is a big help.

IMHO, if you want to work with someone on a problem then 
that's what you should do.  It doesn't appear to me that's 
what you have in mind or, if it is what you have in mind, 
that you know how to go about it.

I know CodeGear is working on the help (still) and I've 
given them a lot of input on the priority and importance... 
with *reasons* and *examples* of what the cause and effect 
is.  They're certainly not where I wish they were, and it 
keeps me from pressing some of my VB friends to jump in for 
fear they'll get frustrated and never come back.  That is to 
say: I probably agree with the core of what you're saying.

At the same time, you're just ranting and raising hell.  I 
honestly don't think that does any good for anybody.
