From the Wikipedia article [1] on RTFM (which stands for "Read The Fucking Manual" just so we're all clear here):
"Critics say that frequent users of the phrase (or similar variants) are simply expressing élitism, and that their attitude drives away newcomers without helping them. Their time could better be spent adding the question and answer to a FAQ, pointing the user to a helpful website, or simply not responding.[6] They point out that RTFM is often used when it is not even clear which manual their correspondent should be reading.[7] One of the most frequent criticisms of the open source community is lack of friendly support for newcomers. The Ubuntu Forums and LinuxQuestions.org, for instance, have instituted "no RTFM" policies to promote a welcoming atmosphere" [1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RTFM#Use_and_overuse -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
