Parent article: Funding restored for man-page maintenance

As I understand it, there never was funding, so saying funding "restored" in the title is a bit misleading. Funding has been found perhaps?

Agree.

On the other hand, we could say I was funding my work there from my own pocket, which was itself full thanks to having a good job. :-)

I didn't want to reply to everyone that showed their appreciation for my work in the man-pages project, so as not to spam the threads. But I should thank all of you, because I somehow managed to get a job (hopefully) for life out of my hobby, and it is in great part because of users like you that this news arrived into the management of the companies who had the money, and convinced them that this was good for them. Thank you very much!
