Yes, seriously. It's poor netiquette.

Seriously?

Who in their right mind would have extrapolated a contextual response such as:

'Why, no, I don't think that there is a need for an "AFTER" feature, since the "REQUIRE" keyword accomplishes the same thing.'

>From your actual response of:

'man rcorder'

There's no implied context in your response. It looks like a blatant uncontextual RTFM (especially so since it came through in under 10 seconds).

Shit, the least you could have done was the following to let me know that you were giving a contextual response:

man rcorder | less +/BUGS
