    “RTFM” (or similar comments like “it’s in the docs”) are just mean and useless without a reference.

    Like, okay, superior user in the internet: If it’s in the manual/docs, what page? Do you have a link? Could you quote the relevant section?

    Often people ask because they couldn’t find the answer in the docs. Simply pointing them at the answer is infinitely better than “lol the answer is in there somewhere”

    See also: “Let me Google that for you…” Like mf Google brought me to this thread!
