The problem with RTFM is sometime the "manual" is too big and one gets lost
trying to figure out where to start (or too much info to absorb in the first
pass through)

This is the "best" solution. When you get settled in (i.e. not a 'newby'), you
pickup the torch and help those 'newbies' who are desperate 8-) and need
assurance that they will be helped.
One of the best aspects of this list is the _friendly_ help one gets even if
the question has already been asked 100 times. I find that when I have a
question about a subject, I read this list for a week or so before asking. A
lot of times, someone has already asked the question and there are the
answers! 8-)
