It had nothing to do with your words Brian.  I may have been born and 
raised in the South, but I'm still a pretty smart guy, and knew what you 
meant.  However that doesn't mean I am going to comply with *your 
request* when you flame some of the primary helpers on this list 
publicly.  I'm not under the impression that you're the one who decides 
who's *noise* is welcome on this list.

I don't know, but you can enrol in my Camp for Correction of Undesirable and

The purpose of this list is to help those who are willing to help 
themselves.  Rarely on this list will you see a RTFM reply to a well 
thought out question to a problem that isn't so well (if at all) 
documented.  Asking for opinion's is fine too, and I don't think you'll 
find many on this list who will 'RTFM' someone asking for an opinion as 
long as the opinion hasn't been asked a gazillion times before ("What's 
the best editor to use for PHP?").

If you're going to answer with an insulting 'RTFM' or 'STFW' then don't 
even post. Your noise is not helpful. Go find a list where everyone 
already knows everything so you can masturbate all you want.
You're talking to people who have been on this list, helping people for 
years now (and I'm not speaking of myself), and your suggestion to them 
is to go elsewhere?  What I find less helpful is a holier-than-thou 
soapbox speach.

Because that's what it *does* mean.  The others are post-facto bowlderizing of
it.  If I told someone to FOAD, and tried to explain that it meant "float off
and die," I'd be covering up similarly.

Great thing about an acronym...it can pretty much mean whatever _you_ 
want it too.  Of course where things like RTFM, STFA, et al are 
concerned, the majority will know it the *mean and nasty* way. ;)

Well there *are* people whose language standards are quite conservative who find
even the "hidden" use of that Anglo-Saxonism in the acronym offensive -- "RTM"
would be much less so.  I don't agree with them, but I totally understand their
point.

Most people who use the term RTFM do not attach any hostile intentions with 
it. If you're going to start getting all emotional about being told to RTFM 
then you should stay away frm mailing lists, the internet, and computers in
