Does anyone at all RTFM any more?
We have wikis, docs, a several-year mailing list archive, three wonderful
software and addon repositories.
Still, we have questions that are in the man pages on the freaking Xymon
menu and even in their own separate page on the Xymon help menu in the
installation itself.
This group exists to help when you've reached a level of proficiency, and
thing that aren't clearly spelled out in the docs are not working as
expected, or there are little "gotchas" that you might need help with that
we've all been through.
True, I'm the first person to grump at someone when they don't receive a
newcomer in a friendly manner, but coming on here and asking questions
that are clearly laid out in the docs is just plain lazy.
You're certainly at least as entitled to your rant as the rantees are to
ask questions that show that they're either lazy or stupid. And I think
you've done it in the right way, expressing the general issue without
pointing a finger at specific posts, something I don't always have the
good grace to avoid. Now back to our regularly scheduled programming....
