Whilst I partly understand your attitude to RTFM, what gives you the right to
express an opinion on behalf of all members of this list?

Would it not have been quicker and more polite to have simply answered the
question, and then point out that a study of the config file for that list,
or the basic documentation should have answered this?

The documentation is not the clearest I have ever come accross, and there is
much old stuff around that refers to ancient releases, which does lead to
confusion.
