| Dec 11, 2009 at 12:55 | comment | added | John Rudy | Æther: I don't assume they're illiterate; I assume they simply don't bother reading it. I like the idea, and agree that a few will read it, but sadly I still think most will still choose to ignore it. :( | |

| Dec 11, 2009 at 8:30 | comment | added | Ladybug Killer | @Æther: Oh, we can assume that. Because people who are happy to listen to are also reading the FAQ. They look at other questions before posting their own ones, to get a feeling how it is done here. That's not the group Robert describes. The group he describes does not read! | |

| Dec 10, 2009 at 21:57 | comment | added | Ether | @John Rudy: we can't assume that all new users are illiterate. Many are quite happy to listen to any instructions we give them, and so giving more information will benefit at least some. | |

| Dec 10, 2009 at 21:11 | comment | added | user102937 | How depressing this is. When I used to write manuals for CPA software the only thing I could ever get them to read were screenshots. | |
| Dec 10, 2009 at 21:07 | comment | added | mmyers Mod | That sentence was too long. How could I be expected to read it? | |
| Dec 10, 2009 at 21:05 | comment | added | John Rudy | I like it, but they won't read it. People already don't read the "related questions" when asking, the instructions for asking, the FAQ (which is in the banner line when you first visit unauthenticated), or anything else. Pop quiz: How many of you stopped reading after "People already don't read ... ?" :) | |
| Dec 10, 2009 at 21:04 | comment | added | Ladybug Killer | They do not read. So what? | |
