If a user hasn't read all of your website, all the mailing list archives, the wiki, the old wiki,
all the blogs of all the developers, and the text files in CVS, refuse to answer their question.
They should study harder before they're entitled to ask questions.

i see that one all the time
"read the FAQ before posting questions"
and the FAQ is large enough to warrant it's own zipcode

Just one: English

A lot of my manuals are also in Spanish probably because I live in Texas.

I went the other way with a new telephone,  bought the plainest push button phone that works without a power pack that has a handset and a set of buttons. It will use a power pack but it only changes the ring tone and works without it. I would use a dial phone if I could get one but they don't work all that well with electronic pulse dial exchanges. The interface design on must gadgets is appalling, something like a Microwave that you need a degree in interface design to operate it. I still have an analogue dial old timer that still works, all the new chinese ones have really crappy digital interfaces.

i hate phones in general - lol
usually, i get called when someone wants something   :bg

my brain is full-up
