I have ignored this thread due to the 'personality' clashes that have been going on. But reading this response has spurred me to reply.
I couldnt agree more, infact, as a linux n00b I do RTFM but at times due to the complexity of linux AND being spoon fed my microshaft for so many years its hard to understand TFM. And a community such as this should encourage openess and sharing of problems and ideas. Otherwise SLUG should just change their homepage to google.com and get over it. If linux is to prosper and grow we need to be careful not to shoot people down for asking a question, and learn to be more tolerant with questions being asked by people who MAY have RTFM but may just need clarification of their problem. Mind you I have not come accross this as yet in SLUG personally. I have found that most people are willing to help.
