And even someone as stupid as you should be able to work
out how to document any GUI, if someone was actually
stupid enough to lend you a seeing eye dog and a white cane.

No wonder you got the bums rush, right out the door.

You could at least update your insult dictionary periodically, it's
definitely getting old and tired.

You really are an imbecile. Documenting is never the problem. Getting
people to _update_ the documentation when making changes is. That's
why I like putting the doc right in the config file, someone just
might keep it updated.
Then of course there's _finding_ the documentation, too.

Any 2 year old could leave that pathetic excuse for bull**** for dead.

Get one to help you before posting again, if anyone is
actually stupid enough to let you anywhere near one.
