I know, i overreacted. I already apologized bot in list and off it. But

i think this discussion about RTFM threads and about the docs, should be

carried a little longer. The majority of the threads in the list are

RTFM threads or even read the mail list archives. Or even google it

threads. But i think this is the purpose of the list, for people to make

questions and be answered. It's just that i become a little upset when

people just don't make their homework.
