Okay, I'll take the bait.

The GNU folks are fine and all, in their own way. :-) But they refuse to 
document their tools in the man pages.  (Where the one God whose name is 
Allah intended them to be.)  Instead, they insist on placing all the 
documentation for their tools (like /bin/tar) in info.  (Use "ESC ESC [ 
B" to scoll down one line.  Why don't the hjkl keys do what I expect?) 
The man pages are then left incomplete and out of date usually with a 
note at the bottom to see info for the real docs.  Quoth: "...you should 
run info and read the tar info pages, or use the info mode in emacs." 
Info mode in _EMACS_!?  Aiee!  Clearly this is the work of the hands of 
Satan.
