Same here, that's one of the reasons I read this list. I guess most of us on this list are still a noob regarding some aspects of Org, simply because they have never needed and used them. I do not remember a single instance of a literal "RTFM" response on this list. If you do ask a question that is answered in the documentation somewhere, you tend to get a friendly pointer in the right direction. Besides the Org Manual (which I recommend you to skim from cover to cover to get a general idea of what features are available), the mailing list archives, worg, and google, there is also C-h v (describe-variable). A lot of settings cannot be found in the manual, but are described in detail in the docstrings of their variables. Press "C-h v org- <TAB>" to get a list of all Org related variables, then switch to the completion window with "C-x o" and use isearch (C-s) to search for a keyword. For example, if I want to change some aspect of the agenda, I might type "C-h v org-agenda- <TAB>" to get a list of all agenda related settings. (I think I found org-agenda-remove-times-when-in-prefix that way.)
