having done my time in a linux help channel, and then spending 2 1/2 years answering a phone at a help desk, i can see both sides rather clearly. i mean, asking a question isn't a bad thing. and it's generally no problem to help someone out with a tough topic. however, the fine manual is there for a reason - as is google. and asking a question prior to at least looking for documentation is like saying, "hey, my time is worth more than yours."

that kind of backhanded implication often irks those who have read the manual, resulting in the ululations and screams of RTFM that often accompany something otherwise simply answered. i've found that, at least in the unix/linux community, oftentimes the best way to receive information without the contempt of angry hordes is to preempt their initial response, and ask, "where the fuck is the manual?"
