True. But you can't seriously mean that we should accept that as a persistent state instead of calling his attention to it??

or even that he had already read it, failed to understand it

Yes, but considering the wording of the original post, that's highly unlikely, so the OP couldn't reasonably be offended by a request to make use of the docs.

The pompous RTFM reply is precisely what Casey was trying to put a stop to when he initiated this list.

RTFM is often _the_ adequate response to a question. It was in this case IMO. Trying to put a stop to requests to use the docs sounds just idiotic to me.

And I wondered if you were really from the Cocos Islands because your email has a .cc country code.

No, I'm from Sweden. But the .se TLD wasn't available to private persons when I registered my domain a few years ago.
