Quote - No offense, but if that is true, then why was Daz asking forumites there to write a manual? I mean, couldn't they also hire the "best and brightest" to do that as well? I'm not being MEAN..I'm just ASKING! LOL

To be honest, I always wondered that too.
Thinking it though, I suspect it's because they don't/can't justify hiring a full-time tech writer, and contracting such things out is often more costly than it's worth. It is something they do need to rectify, though.
I did the 1.0 manual, and most subsequent versions were variations and modifications of that to suit new UI changes and new features. 4.x is different enough that they can no longer do that, so someone's going to have to write it from scratch. I'm just glad it's not me... no matter how much you like using the app, writing about that stuff is dry.
