And it is much easier to help, if you get the impression that the 
help is appreciated. I stated in one of my first mails to this mail-
list, that the file format specification contained so many errors,
that it is not possible to use it as a basis for a new Vorbis implementation 
(and you have to admit that is was not), and got an answer from you 
in a tone like "hah, show me". I did, you corrected the errors I 
reported in my two first mails, but the following three (from 23rd 
September) didn't cause any action at all. I see now, that a few 
things I pointed out are indeed corrected (although the last changed 
date of the documents are before the 23rd), but there still are a 
couple of things I pointed out, which are not yet changed.

And with your attitude towards documentation and support, I honestly 
(and I regret that) don't believe that you have a chance to do so.

<p>>I *have* appreciated all the correction mails you sent.

Yes, several points in my mails from 23rd September.

Actually I thought until today, that all three mails were dropped 
and ignored. I see now, that some of the points I mentioned have 
been changed in the documentation, but I relied on the "last changed" 
date on the top of the documents and assumed that nothing had happened.

You should try it. It's more pleasing than when charging money for it.
