Haven't followed the thread, but...

I can't help to crack a smile every time I see that URL.  I doubt it 
ever helped anyone, still it comes up now and then, typically when 
people get tired of answering stupid questions from lazy newbies.

So, how likely is it that people too lazy to RTFM/STFW will even 
consider some 10 000 word article (on *asking questions*, not whatever 
their problem might be)?  Not very, I say.  Most will probably not even 
get past the *table of contents*.  Funny thing is that people don't seem 
to realize this - that's it's just another way to say "STFU and RTFM, 
newbie".
