Reading a manual of rm command is one thing, reading and 3k + lines of mencoder manual and understand it is another thing.

Just like trying to settle a divoce case at court. Anyone can do it, all they need to do is "read" the law book at their local law library. Why would anyone needs a lawyer for it?

Everyone here is good at something. Someone is good at using mencoder, while others maybe good at compile a kernel. At the same time, someone else could be good at manage their stupid exchange server for all I care.

While recongizing each other strength and share it through a media such as LQ forum is the best way keep this community growing. No some arrogance a$$ trying run around and tell people to "read" instead of posting anything productive.

arrogance, defined at Dictionary.com as "overbearing pride evidenced by a superior manner toward inferiors" But I figured you probably rather go "read" it from your Oxford dictionary (if you have one).

Try doing

rm -Rf /
