Seems reasonable. Dr Raney was a Unix fan.

Thanks.

Habit. I use multiple devices of different types.  Not all of them have 
LC installed.

Thanks, but I'm pretty familiar with the docs options in our community. 
I even know our community manager pretty well. ;)

The bigger problem with these sorts of issues is how the public web site 
becomes so different from the ones we have installed.

I can hunt down good docs. The general public won't know to do that.

Moreover, limiting the public-facing Dict to Community-only obviates the 
upsell opportunity.

But beyond the missed opportunity, from time to time it's also just the 
wrong content.
