I am lost. RTFM is the problem, not the concept, but we are *not* 
encouraged to find alternative ways to express the same message?

BTW in my classes it is normal (although not frequent) for one student 
to say RTFM to another. I seldom say so directly to a student, although 
I sometimes say "if you asked that question on internet you would be 
RTFM'ed - and rightly so".
