I agree entirely. I think it's a knock-on effect from the development (sic)
in another place of so-called 'intuitive' interfaces, where you are supposed
to be able to 'use' it without reading the manual. Fine if you just want to
drive a car. Who starts dismantling parts of a car without having a manual
ready?

Human nature. How many times have you (or someone you know) brought something home and started playing and messing with it before you even picked up the manual? Unfortunately, the more this happens, the more apt we are to start replying with RTFM and thus be labled as an asshole because all they wanted was a little assistance and... you know what I mean. I see it at least once a month on every list I'm on.
