Yes, me. I was told by some members of this list only a few days
ago that sarcasm was OK.

If there *is* some documentation, I see no good reason why it
shouldn't be read. Unless the user thinks of himself that he's
so bright that he will understand everything instantly. Educated
people usually are a bit more modest, and don't mind some effort
in order to learn something.
