[Elecraft] No RTFM

Pretty funny, Wayne.

I have long been one of the "unofficial" technical advisors on 
another reflector and over the years the same questions come up over 
and over.  Many give opinions how to improve the system by use of FAQ 
pages or mini-tutorials, etc., etc. But in the final analysis there 
is no prefect cure for the lack of reading the manual.  Its human 
behavior to skip the manual (or so it seems).

So the official TS folks and the ex-official "experts" will have to 
smile and repeat the advice, forever.  I can see there are several 
very generous and patient soles on this reflector doing just 
that.  Thankyou - Thankyou!

In my "professional" life I worked as a technical writer of manuals 
and have been an OJT instructor.  Training is going over the same 
"basics" on a regular schedule to "refresh" the memory of the user, 
and to instruct the newcomers that come along.

The rest of us should be glad for that service.
