RTFM and STFW answers have been given when people obviously haven't
attempted to discover the answer themselves but they have normally been
acompanied by a link to prove the person should have done it themselves.
This is far better than the old school RTFM that has no place in the
*new* userfriendly linux communities that have been developing over the
last 5 or 6 years.
I generally include a link to How to ask questions the smart way
http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html it's better for us to
educate than punish ;-)
