this is a common misconception: actually you are
_very_ qualified, since you describe the situation
from the perspective of a 'normal user'. this will
be _much_ more helpful than what an 'expert' would
write, that usually is more easily misunderstood
by a typical user. it is up to the more experienced
users to remove any errors, but your perspective is
what people that want useful documentation are after.

i sometimes wish, more people would understand this
and thus help developers making their efforts more
applicable to the real world(tm). ;-)

ciao,
