IBM manuals assume a certain level of knowledge in order to understand them. This is correct. The ABC's go a bit deeper.
I agree that we should help people more by pointing them to the docs (in a nice way). But one thing that I treasure, being basically a newbie myself compared to most of you, is that communal feeling. When asked in the right way, and if you know we are willing to do the research on our own, you guys offer insights that can never be expressed in any manual. To make it personal, I really like "talking" to some of you.
