Ok, so I did give Gary the RTFM line once in a while but I must clarify that I do not indiscriminately ask everybody to RTFM.

I prefer to give a pointer in the right direction. Only once in a while do I give the RTFM line. Simply because the answer is really in there! Now can you imagine that harmless lamb up there snarling: "RTFM!!!"
