If you go back through the archives for the last 10 years, you'll see this is less egregious than most other lead up to a release. We are getting numerous, numerous duplicate questions. If we say RTFM or RTF archives and keep out nose to the stone. Many that DO answer questions will just un-subscribe. > If I wanted to hear about god I would go to church and I would be a > Christian.
