Well I think that is wrong. Surely that kind of thing can be covered in the
text.

That could (and maybe should) count against you.
The documentation couldn't be worse than Serge where many inputs and outputs
have no explanation and even friends of mine with years of modular
experience have been convinced a module has been faulty until they've had a
sudden mental breakthrough.

I hope not. I don't know much about Robert Rich but Gino Robair has been
doing some great modular articles of late. Maybe he should have been given
the Wiard to review as he has extensive knowledge of Serge.
Reviews are very subjective, unfortunately they often carry so much weight
that they can seriously effect your sales.
