[PHP] [Newbie Guide] RTFM, STFW, and STFA
I just had to get it out of my system this morning. No offense intended to anyone, and not directly aimed at anyone. Just had to get it off of my chest because there have been so many times that it could have been used since we had that conversation a few weeks ago. *grumble* more coffee needed, may need to start smoking again... *weak smile* j/k of course...lighten up and as always BTW, thanks to the guy who is periodically posting the newbie guide. It may be paying dividends, but then again I did see a post with a title IN ALL CAPS WITH NO DETAILS! and another that just said Help Have a pleasant, productive, and educational day. *snicker* feeling better already -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Jay, Thank you very much for bringing this up. I think if people cannot be curteous and cannot obey maliling list rules and etiquette they don't deserve replies.

Quite Right ! So, since I'm not quite a newbie I did not read all the guides .. RTFM (Read The F*ck!ng Manual) and STFW (Search The [EMAIL PROTECTED] Web) I already knew, but what does STFA stand for ;)..
