"Before you report a bug, please read and re-read the documentation to
confirm that you really can not do whatever it is you are trying."

The suggestion isn’t an improvememt, not that you’ve even tried to explain
your reasoning.

Well the sentence read funny to me. But after reading it again now I see
that what you mean is that the subject should confirm that what they are
trying to do should actually be achievable.

Note that I am going through the entire documentation over the next week or
so and will try to eagle eye any corrections if I can. This is the only
sentence I have found problematic so far and now upon reflection I think I
can chalk this up to my own misunderstanding.

Great, thanks for your reviewing this and let us know what else you
