Mess like "wrong" or mess like "sloppy"?

I'd like a copy of the new revision.  (You should really start rsyncing your 
stuff to your trilug page.)  I haven't had a chance to read your doc, but 
I've just spent the last couple of months wrestling with making RPMs.  I 
wrote a ~2300 word step-by-step guide for creating RPMs.  I thought that I'd 
read yours and see whether we could combine them.  I'd really love it if Red 
Hat adopted such a guide and included it with their rpm documentation.  
_Maximum_RPM_ was good, but I think that RPM really needs a step-by-step 
guide for someone who is already somewhat familiar with .spec files and who 
knows where to look for details such as all of the switches to each command.
