Hmm, I wonder if there's a presentation idea in there: "The Art of
RTFM/STFW"

One could start by sort of logging a few incidents of successful
RTFM/STFW, i.e., that didn't result in posting any question, and there
you'd have a few examples. I could contribute a little story about how I
learned how to sort multidimensional arrays all by myself today (well ok,
with a little help from Google when
http://us3.php.net/manual/en/function.array-multisort.php didn't do it for
me)
