Not to might light of your "lively conversation," but unless the person
is consistent in their failure to RTFM, I think these should be given
reasonable charity and answered ("You must have missed that full page
of boldface in the second section of *Introduction to silly Mac users
manual*!"). There are also sometimes where they are questions that we
do not feel like searching the manual for because it seems like a
rather minute issue, even though it is on page 1.
