Actually RTFM would not be a problem for people from academic background (meaning MS or PHD educated) at all since they have to do it all the time....but for people with more team work background these days, it might not be politically very correct...

Learning how to effectively RTFM is an essential skill for anyone, in any walk of life, in any industry. IMHO, the Ubuntu policy is too fluffy. People will never learn to think for themselves if their hands are held all the time. Then again, that's sort of Ubuntu's market these days, I guess. I've been telling people to RTFM for a long time, and I've never known anyone to become a worse developer or user for it. Colin
