I find I'm of two minds here.  It's seems to me that telling new people
to RTFM, although abrupt almost to the point of rudeness /by itself/,
when included in a more-politely worded message that also points to the
correct FM can be a wonderful learning experience. 
 
I think it is incumbent upon us all to do whatever we can both to learn
about our systems /and/ to help others do the same.  If they aren't
interested in doing some of the preliminary work themselves it will
become apparent pretty soon.  /That/ is the time for 'punitive
measures', if such are even possible since we are all so nice and sweet
to one another.  ;-}

...but suggesting that folks swing the door closed behind them doesn't
seem all that nice, either, really.
