Mikä ihmeen RTFM ja STFW virheilmo?

[MäIte]

Guy C. Reynolds on nätisti enklanniksi tyhjentävästi selventänyt SmoothWall palomuurinsa FAQ:eissa mitä oikeastaan kannattaa kysyä ja miten. Alla selvennyksenä RTFM ja STFW termien sisällöstä ja oikeasta käyttötarkoituksesta.

RTFM and STFW: How To Tell You've Seriously
Screwed Up

There is an ancient and hallowed tradition: if you get a reply
that reads "RTFM", the person who sent it thinks you should
have Read The Fucking Manual. He is almost certainly right.
Go read it.

RTFM has a younger relative. If you get a reply that reads
"STFW", the person who sent it thinks you should have
Searched The Fucking Web. He is almost certainly right. Go
search it.

Often, the person sending either of these replies has the
manual or the web page with the information you need open,
and is looking at it as he types. These replies mean that he
thinks (a) the information you need is easy to find, and (b)
you will learn more if you seek out the information than if
you have it spoon-fed to you.

You shouldn't be offended by this; by hacker standards, he is
showing you a rough kind of respect simply by not ignoring
you. You should instead thank him for his grandmotherly
kindness.

If you don't understand...

If you don't understand the answer, do not immediately
bounce back a demand for clarification. Use the same tools
that you used to try and answer your original question
(manuals, FAQs, the Web, skilled friends) to understand the
answer. If you need to ask for clarification, exhibit what you
have learned.
