&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; On Thu, 5 Oct 2000 16:33:58 -0400, &quot;Greg Ferguson&quot; &lt;gferg@hoop.timonium.sgi.com&gt; said:
GF&gt; I agree 100%. In no way did I (or would I) advocate changing the
GF&gt; writer's style. It's what gives the LDP a little &quot;personality&quot;.
GF&gt; Otherwise, everything reads like a manpage (no offense to those
GF&gt; that write man pages, I do so myself).
Camille, I agree with them. In fact, we've released a set of HOWTOs as
a reference guide and it's acceptance was VERY good. People like to
read things written with humor and as if they were by your side,
talking to you. I've even read a book on how to write books (:-)) that
teaches writing this way. If I remember the title (of the right book)
it's &quot;On writing well&quot;. I don't remember it's author.
See you,
