And on the flip side of the coin, some of us here on the PHP list have been around so long that we've seen the same simple, it's in the FM question rehashed over and over and over AND OVER again. When someone brings it up again it just means that rather than use the manual, archives, google, their brain, their own time, they want us to do their work for them... and unlike weberdev we aren't getting paid to cater to idiots. If you carefully comb the archives you'll see that many of us that make quite liberal use of RTFM also quite often give answers to the same simple questions, and often quite recently. I don't remember who's tagline it is... but here the "teach a man to fish" pearl of wisdom applies -- even if sometimes you have to club him over the head with it.
