Well, we might _like_ users to do that, but it is unrealistic to assume they
would. So we certainly can't _expect_ them to do so. Anyway, that's irrelevant,
because it's a settled matter! I don't know why Stuart is opening this
discussion up again.

(And just think what would happen if LO became more popular, and 2 Billion
people would start filling the mailing lists and IRC channels with mundane
questions...)

I'm a hard-code Linux type and my slogan is: If the user needs to read the
manual for basic usage, then the developer/UX designer has failed.
