Unfortunately, the reason the abbreviation "RTFM" exists is that people
*don't read* the literature.  The usual result of this is that they post
a query and it provokes two weeks of discussion, much of it ill-informed.
I really do think a frequently-asked-questions list, containing *information*
and not just references, is useful; the trouble is that compiling it is a
lot of work.
