Oh! You feel I was too vulgar? Hmmm... well, I did not intend to offend
you, merely to express my frustration. I don't think 'crap' and 'RTFM'
are so bad. Certainly RTFM <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RTFM> has a
long history of use in these situations, and the 'F' need not
necessarily be F**king, but could easily be a less offensive word in
one's mind if one so chooses. It's the sentiment expressed that is
important, and RTFM does so most efficiently - which I like.

If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the precipitate.
