Takes more away than it offers? It offers new users an easy way to jump
in, get set up, and do what they need to do. 

I honestly don't think new users are thinking "Oh geeze I hope this
guide is properly credited!".

They want something that gives answers. Can you point out a better
guide? If you don't need it, that is fine. Many people want a one stop
shop for setup info, and here it is.

He provided a source of information on a website that can be easy used
and understood by new users. True, he could credit his sources better,
but I think you are being quite uptight, and are also being rather
greedy. Why not let people have the information in another form? 

Why does this bother YOU? How is it, in its current state, anothing
less than a very useful source of information?
