Great that is really all I am asking for.

Dave keeps saying it is fine? Good make it great!

I am saying people are trying to help. Dave keep saying no it is fine the way it is. It is good is what I keep saying and it could be great. It is a excellent argument it just needs some help nothing wrong with that. 

Noted taken under advisement etc. Wether in the end he changes it or not, is up to him. The people here are trying to help not hurt. We all want to see Dave publish the best he can do. 

When I finish VEOL (Video Editing On Linux) I am already prepared for this kind of criticism. 
It is part of putting your work in the public eye, but we are his peers and while some of the comments I or others wrote may seem harsh, they are there to elevate the level of Dave's writing. 

Step back look at it again and say, is this really clear? How can I make it more clear.

Fair enough but when the chap wants to put his work on the group server and publish it as part of the group there needs some sort of consensus if it is worthy. I have never asked TLUG to publish my stuff for me. Dave has and that is where the scrutiny has come in. 

Lets throw this on the tlug site http://www.hugedesigns.net/wiki/index.php/PureFTPD

Come on it is total crap only if you work with this stuff every day would you even know what it means. It has no place on TLUG and I wouldn't ask you to put it there. It is there for my reference.

My code OF Fing COURSE. ;-) 

I know I sound like a bit of a cock when I come off and say the stuff above but I really want 2 things. What is best for TLUG first and what is helpful for those involved second. Actually those 2 are interchangeable.
