Hey - it doesn't actually seem to matter whether one does research or not. Almost every single post I make, someone just HAS to tell me to search google, which is maddening. The whole idea behind a forum like this is to be able to communicate with others who may be able to help, and who you may be able to help. So someone replying with a pissy RTFM is trying to get you not to communicate with your friends. That pretty much tells me where they're at as individuals. I don't need in-depth discussions with them to figure out they don't have many friends and are rather lonely in life, which is a bit pathetic as they have a whole community of people here that are very friendly and also like-minded, as well as other people in their lives that they incessantly work to alienate. But, hey, there's always gotta be a few in any bunch.

Unfortunately there are some who mostly post stuff like 'read the manual' and other shit like that. Stuffing e-mailboxes with such garbage day after day doesn't do anybody any good even if the manual is not being read as much as it should be. Is it too difficult to not answer the post at all if you disagree with the content? [/snip] I know that this has circulated, but RTFA (toungue-firmly-in-cheeck) http://catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html My suggestion, quit posting "shit like this" when it has been covered dozens of times. Talk about "noise". Look how many replies this thread generated. Looks very much to me like you are http://www.winternet.com/~mikelr/flame29.html I know I use RTFM, STFW, and STFA a lot, but when the poster makes it apparent that they have done no research it is an expected and acceptable answer.
