This document reads more like a newsgroup article or something from a
zine than a formal piece of documentation. Even in this excerpt we see
an uncapitalized "i" and a "weve", and there are many issues like this
elsewhere. Fixing it feels a bit futile, plus I kinda like the
slice-of-history nature of the document :) But yeah, the fix is correct.
