That's what you say :-).

Seriously though, where's the pain in the very very few extra letters
required to turn it into something just as pointed, or, if you must,
even more pointed, but without the expletives-abbreviated non-deleted
(to misquote Nixon badly)? Addition of the magical F is usually done
with care in even vaguely 'polite' circles. If you wouldn't use it in
professional environments, why use it here. if you would usually use
it in professional environments, why use it here?:-). That can be
taken as "PC" if desired. I'd hope that it would be taken as 'polite'.
I can be every bit as pointed and attention focusing as Olin ever is,
when I deem the need is there, F acronyms not being required. Think it
as a life skill worth learning :-). (My smiley bucket is getting a bit
depleted by now :-( ).

You'll find that information in the manual.
It's in the manual.
That's covered in the manual.
As advised last time you asked that question, it's covered in the manual.
People keep referring you to the manual when you ask that question.
Have you looked?
I think it's well past time that you had a good read of the manual.
If you are in any way serious about this subject them you are going to
have to take the time required to properly understand the manual.

[[Note that that latter says more than a standard RTFM does]].
...

All sound fairly tame but are all liable to make the RTFM point well
enough without adding culturally variable value added standard
abbreviatiions :-).
