Whoa, both of you.  Let us stop here before this spirals into an argument
of complete misunderstanding. 

I don't know what the original thing was that joesph took wrong was... I
am assuming it was the reference to "read the F'ing manual", which, for
your information, is a common response and generally an expected one in a
lot of places... RTFM (for short, and more common, polite usage) is a
legitimate net term which basically means "there is a faq, it might be
a good idea to start out there.. you will find your answer in the FAQ" 

Infact, one of the main depositories of USENET FAQs is called RTFM. 

Of course, you could always say that RTFM really stands for Read The
FAQQING manual. ;)
