I've submitted many such small corrections to OpenBSD to help keep that standard high. No one will place those contributions on the same level as real development but I like that I've helped. And I know I appreciate it when even the documentation is kept at the same bar.

One of the reasons I fell in love with OpenBSD was the commitment to correctness throughout the entire system. This is a lot harder with Linux because they only control the kernel and not the entire distribution.

Please keep doing that. I'm still hesitant to contribute to tech@ with code and have yet to find a fixable issue in the man pages/FAQ in my own usage. But I do appreciate that the details are oh so right very often.
