Oh Noop, you made me cry. <sniff> Not! Re-read again, my original quote.
I said "STYLE would dictate softening the blow." What part of that do
you not comprehend?? Are you not conversant with the word STYLE? It's
how one carries oneself. So, unless you are faced with a complete
bonehead, which I have little respect for, you can offer up an RTFM in a
manner that they will like it. That was my point all along. To use some
STYLE. 

I agree with the notion of RTFM, as in real life, if you don't research
things on your own, you might find yourself in difficulties that have
legal repercussions. We daily work with folks who didn't RTFM and wound
up in crowbar hotel, blinking and looking bewildered. They did not
perform "Due Diligence" and paid for it, along with their friends and
families. 

So, the trick is to convey that this forum is no substitute for doing
some basic searching and that this isn't the place to learn how to set
up your own private network from scratch, without reading up on it at
least some, on their own. Again, using STYLE, the recipient might
appreciate the advice. If they don't, well they're in the bonehead camp
and best ignored. Anyone else fail to comprehend this? Ric
