I'm fully aware of what RTFM stands for of course, but fair enough. I
personally don't see RTFM as a poke in the eye, but a pointer that
"what you asked is well documented, here, have a look at this here
book/man page/website/whatever".

Apologies if it came across as "you fuckwit, look at the manual..
DUHH!!" which isn't the case.
