Sometime Today, NMK cobbled together some glyphs to say:

I had done that, thank you very much. If all  problems were solved by RTFM,
no one would subscribe to mailing lists.

It's been a very long time since I've had to ask a question on a mailing list. The answer is either in the docs already, or on some mailing list archives. You just have to be willing to spend 4-8 hours (or more) doing some research.

If you think that that's too much, consider this:

Time for you to research: 8 man hours

Time for you to write the mail: 5-10minutes
Time for one list member to read the mail: 5minutes
Time for all 1016 list members to read the mail: 83 man hours

What's more expensive?
