The help file is the manual. RTFM is an acronym from the computer world
which refers to much more than just the printed manual. It often also refers
to the man(ual) pages of the particular program or function. AKA, on-line
help. It also encompasses actually taking the time to look through the
configuration to see what is really there and what is not. A lot of the
questions that have come through recently could have easily been answered by a
quick look through the configuration.
In short instead of sitting there and saying, "Why does it work this way?"
as if it were the only way it worked, switch gears and ask, "Does it work
another way?" and /look/.
