First, there are not stupid questions. Only stupid answers. The FIRST

Second, in the time that it takes to type RTFM, those knowledgeable can
point to the right document.
Third, you don't have to answer every single question that pops up. If
it is "stupid" in your opinion, then perhaps you are not the best
person to answer it. I have found recieved many HELPFUL replies to what
appear, at first, to be RTFM questions.
Well, in some cases RTFM and pointing users to where in the manual to
look can be useful. Like if you didn't understand inheritance properly
you might overlook things in the "inherits from" bit on every class doc
page. Or if people weren't aware a certain class existed or what it
does...
Yes, if you have read the manual and you can't understand it, that is a
different thing.
Can't we just all get along? :-)
