I'm all for writing good documentation, and hoping
people will read it, but the attitude embedded in the
'F' of RTFM is really obnoxious.  Using that phrase
when talking with actual users is like saying
"Go away, you're too stupid to use our tool."

If we want Linux and Wine to take off, we need to learn
to make the average user feel at home -- even those
who don't read documentation.  It's a challenge, but
I think we can do it.
