Re: [TUHS] groff_man question

I wouldn't call it an error, merely a misleading sentence. .EX/.EE is, after all, an extension in Gnu, albeit not original to Gnu. And I didn't intend to impugn anybody. The sentence, "Ingo Schwarze stated incorrectly" was apparently slipped into the quotation to provide missing context. I do appreciate, however, how quickly the inexactness was repaired.
