RE: Release notes and readme files

["Dori Green" <dgreen -at- associatedbrands -dot- com>]

Just a couple of "aside" notes from a Power User, not a hacker:

1.  I always read the "readme" because I once received a program that blew
itself up because I had not read the "readme" instruction regarding the
cockamaymee special procedure to be used for its installation.  And they
resisted sending a replacement because I had obviously not read the
"readme".  As hackers (programmers and technicians), they assumed that
everybody knew that it's important to read the "readme"; that's why it's
there and that's why it's called a "readme".

2.  According to most of the development people I've worked with, there is
no such thing as a bug.  It's just an undocumented feature.
