Russel,  these people can say what they want about using RTFM and it should 
not cause
a problem but There are many people that they would not say that to face to 
face.
I am not talkin about friends talking to each other but to people you do not 
know.

It is easy to insult some one from behind a computer but when some one can 
get to you
then you think twice.  I knew people in the military service that would whip 
your  ***
if you gave them that answer and this tells me that some take this as very 
rude.  I think that
it would be much better to say RTM and most wold not get too upset with 
that.
