Re: Before we start - PLEASE read the Manual!

And while this thread is here:

Please, please, please, please read the thread title and the first post.

I know it seems faster to create a CD account and ask the question here (and have it given to you in 15 minutes or so), but it's not! It's much faster to use a PDF reader's "Find" feature to do a little bit of research in the Manual. Besides the facts that a) anything said on CD is not official and b) just asking without indicating that you've looked is likely to get you hit with either a "Read the Manual" or a "Search before you post--there are 47 threads on this topic already and it's answered in the Manual" as the default responses.

And, as a more personal note: If I don't see any sign of some rules-knowledge seeker having looked in the Manual, I tend to only give the rule number and a very short summary. If someone has actually looked, or rather gives some indication thereof, I'm much more likely to quote the rule, along with the reference and my interpretation.
