Possibly not. It's written in Anglo-Latvian, I think. It would have been easier to understand if it was in Bombay Welsh. The author is not a native English speaker, to the point where periodically, I'm tempted to volunteer to help clean it up. Plus there's the usual missing information on topics where the authors have been working with the product so long and have seen it grow up so that some of the less intuitive facilities seem perfectly intuitive to them, and hence, not worth describing in detail.
The secret of how to be miserable is to constantly expect things are going to happen the way that they are "supposed" to happen.
You can have faith, which carries the understanding that you may be disappointed. Then there's being a willfully-blind idiot, which virtually guarantees it.
