Read The Fine Manual. This may be interpreted as: "You have
asked a question which would best be answered by consulting the manual (or
FAQ, or other help files), a copy of which should be in your possession. The
question you have asked is clearly answered in the manual and you are
wasting time asking people to read it to you." It's good netiquette to mail
this type of answer to another user rather than post it in public messages.
