To be somewhat fair manuals are not an easy read.  Took me a year of
using DOS to understand what the manual was telling me.  And you
wouldn't believe what I did with my first spreadsheet program after
using the manual. Also had a client who read the manual so well she
formated her C: drive.

But I do agree with the concept of look first ask later.

There are advantages to being part of an archane department.....
