Fair enough.  I know you've made a Herculean effort to coordinate
the docs; and that's a thankless task.  Thank you for all you've
done.  It  does _not_ go unnoticed, though it might go un-rewarded.

Bear in mind that blogging is a very social thing.  Many bloggers
blog because their friends blog.  Many people use WordPress because
someone they know uses WordPress.  I'd venture to guess that a _lot_
of what gets passed around here and in the forums get disseminated
by word-of-mouth between friends as they help one another.

I suspect that a lot of lurkers here are helping to spread info around.
