[ic] Pee-Poor Documentation Rant

Part of this is lack of time on the people parts that know what needs to be
known to write the docs... I have for 6 months now wanted to sit down and start
an independent book... But I am FAR to busy DOING Interchange consultant than to
teach others... Tis funny though, I have SEVERAL clients that pay for just phone
support and snippets of code... They do the grunt work and have me do the core
out of the ordinary routines...

But hey I have gotten to where I am, by READING the docs, and by trying more and
more new things every day. Like using IML/Interchange as a replacement for
php...
