    You, sir, are an idiot. If there is adequate paper documentation, only the people who are comfortable tweaking their computers will take advantage of it.

    Ever notice how prevalent the phrase "RTFM" is? Ever had to answer some computer illterate person's questions, and noted that the answer was in the documentation?

    Most people don't read documentation, so if it has useful information in it, only the motivated people will have access to that information.
