that's fair, and i completely missed that. I remember HAProxy used to have similar verbiage on their main page, back when they were the only software load balancer to be able to sustainably manage 10gbit of throughput. I gave a quick scan of the current intro.txt and there's still some ...

> HAProxy offers a fairly complete set of load balancing features, most of which are unfortunately not available in a number of other load balancing products

It seems like a minor nit that could be "fixed", especially since the "it gets better" is in reference to "not only smaller, but also much faster" and it's not an insignificant performance increase, it's 100 times faster. Basically everyone (mostly) uses squashfs, and this absolutely trounces it - according to the author.

anyhow i hope my reply wasn't too extra

Not at all. These things are cultural and on a person by person basis as well. I’m definitely on the low profile side, to a fault.

Thanks for the feedback! I was probably a little too excited when writing the documentation. Reading it again with some distance, I can certainly see why this might be a bit off-putting. I'll keep this in mind for the future!
