Re: Stop with the "RTFM" stuff

Karthik -

I really do agree with you for the most part. There is often a lack of respect shown to those who make mistakes and it has been discussed before.

However, have you noticed a lot of people's signatures lately? Some clever person altered the acronym "RTFM" to mean "Read The FIRST Manual" - a much more polite version of the original term. Many people have adopted it and put it in their signature. It is possible that the use of "RTFM" has increased because people are embracing the new variation (possibly unaware that others might not get the reference).

In order to avoid perceived vulgarity, I think people should make it clear that they mean "Read The FIRST Manual". If they do in fact mean to use the impolite version, then yes, Karthik - they should cut it out.
