Is this an exclusive 'or' or an inclusive 'or'?

Much of PG's assorted FAQs might be candidates for update, but the bulk of them have stood the test of time. The questions are, who's going to update them, how much argument from the cheap seats is going to ensue, and since two of the three main complainers in this forum don't submit anything anyway, why should any updater put up with those complaints?
hey wait, al, am i one of those "three main complainers"? if so, mr. haines, am i one of the two who "don't submit"? because, technically, i _have_ actually made a submission. moreover, i don't think i've ever lodged a complaint about a _f.a.q._, because i'm not sure what the point would be... and -- you know, i do really hate to be a nitpicker, but -- i think it's important to note that i don't just "complain", i also offer an _alternative_ that will _solve_the_problem_. finally, _i_prove_it_works,_right_in_front_of_your_face._ too bad that you'd usually stopped listening much earlier -- meaning you often miss the fact that proof is given -- because why should you "put up with those complaints"? -bowerbird p.s. that's what i'm asking! who's on first? p.p.s. yes! p.p.p.s. the cyberarchaeologists will have a field day with this thread. i swear they will laugh for a week and a half! i mean the _inclusive_ "and" when i say "week and a half".
