Much agreement on people do NOT do what is written

Dear Sweetpea and Griffonwing and AJ:

Yes,no matter how I write the User Manual and tell people "READ THIS MANUAL FOR YOUR OWN GOOD" and "READ THE FAQ SHEET" I imagine about 20% actually do so. BUT... that 20% are the smart ones who I care most about helping.

I cannot help those who will not listen. MOST User Manuals really are written for legal reasons. By writing it in the User Manual the courts have ruled that this can negate lawsuits later. IF WRITTEN, it is all that the manufactruer need to do as the actual act of reading is not under their control.

That is why I constantly preach "read the FAQ sheet as it is loaded with useful tips and procedures that you will want". IF you look back from the start of this thread, I mention it some 50 times. The User Manual is written somewhat to protect Astak but the FAQ sheet is written to help the end user!

AND... note how my posts have caused Griffonwing to improve his appearance!! Why you would essentially think he is a CEO.
