Well, that's the reason why there is a forum, to be a place to provide more information about how things work and to answer questions.
Over time I can incorporate discussions and answers given in the newsgroup back into the help-file documentation.
It is a pretty tough job to make the help file documentation perfect and answer every question about every task in the clearest and most complete manner right in its first edition! :)

It really is a tightrope - the tricky part is that each feature that you ask me to add in adds some level of complexity to the program.
Being able to offload some less frequently used functions to a plugin system can help to keep the core program more simple and easier to use for a central set of basic tasks.
