Stop with the "RTFM" stuff

[JoeXIII'007]

A few things from me in one of the best threads I have ever seen period:

• There's Google
• There's the manual
• and there's this amazing forum which lets you

1. search or
2. ask

Now how you get an answer to an important question in your mind is completely up to the mind. Sure there are some days things get redundant, but that is how we all collectively progress and make sure the meek, middle, and strong people have the equivalent chance of getting someplace on their projects.

Short: Every mind works differently, it will do what it must in order to find an answer, and if it is here, we better be happy to offer it.

While it is important to remind people new to CD (and sometimes not so new) to read the manual, and search before posting, it is also worth remembering that not all FRC teams or team members speak English as a first language.

Those of us who are fluent in English should consider how challenging it would be to keep up with CD if every second post required us to look a word up in the dictionary, or if one year the rule book came out in... oh, say Portuguese, French, Spanish, Hebrew or Arabic.
