Vegro Solari Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 I think reality dictates to us that it's perfectly insane to expect anybody but trained professionals to RTFM. And even those are going to be doing it half-heartedly with a sad face on. Too much info overload everywhere. Ignoring just about everything around you makes for a critical, if unrecognized, skill needed to survive and succeed in today's world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perrie Juran Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 I never stop learning. But it's like counting back change. They don't teach it in school anymore. Very sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacki Silverfall Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 Wuts RTFM? :matte-motes-nerdy: ETA Google is my friend! I would like to say that I do at all times. I like to curl up in bed and do it. Then fall asleep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Venus Petrov Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 I RTFM when I seek information and sometimes I learn things that I did not expect to learn. I also use help forums for specific questions that I cannot easily find in TM perhaps because my setup is different. I do wish that new residents would avail themselves of the Answers forum when they have questions. It is a treasure trove of good stuff and people nowdays should be comfortable using a search function, right? If not, they could read up on it.

There is nothing like building that IKEA bookshelf without the instructions, and having 4 extra screws when you are complete. Ahh, the smiles and the satisifaction.

Dilbert Dilweg Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 RTFM? why do that when we have second life answers? :matte-motes-sarcasm: I am kinda with Phil on this one. I kinda read them. I skim thru the manual to obtain only the essential info needed lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hugsy Penguin Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Generally speaking, I'll try to figure *it* (whatever that may be) out for myself first. If I need help, then I'll RTFM. Then sometimes I'll RTFM just to see all the stuff the thing can do or if I think there might be some special usage notes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amethyst Jetaime Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 A large segment of the population gives it a go then when is royally f***ed they RTFM. My personal motto is when in doubt RTFM, but often i can dispense with it and use what God gave me in its place. However I often have to ask myself how can I RTFM when it's in chinese?

Dana Hickman Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 I always do unless it's something so simple a chimp could manage.. and that chimp part is fairly ironic since I've actually had to tell a few abrasive men in SL to RTFM while pointing to my profile. Chimps.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
