[Snowball-discuss] Errors in the Snowball Finnish documentation

[Martin Porter]

Blake,

Thanks for pointing that out. In both cases the documentation is incorrect
and should match the implementation. I also see that step 5 is not correctly
defined: I will put in exact documentation soon and let you know when it is
in place,

Martin
