No. RTFM responses (and STFW and STFMLA) SHOULD go on the list. The
problem is, you only need ONE. There's no need to pile on. If the
obvious answer to a question is RTFM, and someone has already posted
that, there's no need for you to do so. The only time there should be
multiple RTFM responses to the same person's question is when duplicate
responses "cross in the mail".
