Nothing wrong with saying "you should read such and such". But RTFM
is the condescending way of saying it (just look what it stands for).
Would be like asking someone where the restroom is and getting "look
at the building directory, you blind clueless moron". My point was
about posts that are belittling and snipe because the question was
simple.

Actually, I don't understand why an RTFM kind of answer is perceived
as rude. I'm really happy when I get an RTFM *with a link* to the
appropriate document.
Also, I often just don't answer at all, since an RTFM may not be
well received and I don't have the time to write a more elaborate
answer. Oh well.
