Well you should start again.

It's called
man -k whatever
I don't see you writing HOW-TO's.
In fact, I don't see any of the people asking for HOW-TO's writing
them.
Most of the FAQ is written by 3 guys. It's not written by you guys
who keep asking for HOW-TO documents.
So why do you people keep asking if you're not doing the work?
You think we're going to write them?
I think the hint by now should be pretty obvious. We've decided that
_if_ we are going spend effort writing anything, it will be man pages,
not HOW-TO's.
So there's three ways you guys can go with this information.
Either help us with the man pages, or write your own HOW-TO's, or just
stop making requests for us to do what you want us to do for you..
