It's true that it should be handsome to point rookies to the manual with
an effective pointer.
On the other hand, the rookie found the software and the maillist,
she/he should be able to find the manual too.
In the end, I frequently see rookies (and others) with the manual in one
hand, the tool in the other hand complaining that it does not work or
asking how it works...
Point taken and understood, maybe it's the teacher in me, but I've found
that as soon as you get sarcastic or demeaning in your instructions, the
learning process ends. It's always better to be polite and friendly.
Sarcasm and demeaning comments may feed the inner child, but serves no other
purpose productive or otherwise.
I also think this thread has probably run its course and I for one
have made my last comment on it.
