Keep in mind that a noticeable part of a Lead's effect on development comes 
from simply urging us rankmen to do stuff. The Doc Man should of course write 
documentation, but his deeper meaning (imho) is to see the big picture of 
what kind of work is needed and where. From that perspective he can then 
proceed to issue help requests, make suggestions and reward good work by 
emanating a glow of general pleasantness. :)

You say you write excellent docs when provided the necessary data. 
#sourcemage 
is where you'll get that data in real time as you're writing. And if you 
write something that's not entirely accurate, a simple review request on the 
ML is bound to correct it.

Yours truly,
Someone who also writes good docs but really needs someone to kick his lazy 
butt every now and then... :)
