I hadn't intended to set off a firestorm on this subject or the issue
of civility, but my abrupt response of "RTFM" was improper and I
apologize to the list for that.

I have signed the CoC and goofed by not adhering to it - I could just
as easily have posted an abrupt "Nautilus->Help" or something slightly
longer and more polite, but I didn't.

I have seen three (I think) posters to this list now who *routinely*
cross-post the exact same questions to other OS lists (where I also
lurk under a different email id) when the questions they are asking
are not, strictly speaking, Ubuntu-centered (or even Linux-centered)
questions.  I let my irritation with this produce the answer rather
than thinking it through one second (or less) longer.

Thank you all for the input and food for thought, and to C especially
for the link on Ubuntu Community membership, which I had not read in a
while.

Let's move on....
