I'm generally a manual reader. I spent a career using very complex software where reading the
manual once was not even CLOSE to enough to get full use out of the capabilities available.
Often in a given day, there were three of the submanuals for the software open on my desk, referring
to several different portions, so I could figure out how to best take advantage of the tools I had.
Of course some manuals today are 95% "WARNING: do not use your hair drier in the bathtub" and
"WARNING: never load your gun, under any circumstances" , "WARNING: always wear heavy gloves,
eye protection and hearing protection when using your new radio" or similar foolish or entirely useless
"safety warnings" intended more to be useful in avoiding lawsuits than actually providing any useful
information to the user.
Actually explaining how the item WORKS is only occasionally included.
Of course, I exaggerate, but only slightly. We could probably have a 'forever thread' on
"The stupidest safety warning in the manual for my new........."
