    Do You Read the Manual?

    Just wondering how many people read the manual(for anything, not just PB stuff) beofre they try something/hook something up/etc. Now be honest.

    I myself refuse to read the manual unless I can't possibly figure something out.

              I usually read the manual VERY quickly before starting out. Then I wing it. And if I run into problems I know exactly where in the manual the answers are.

                  ditto to what Shartley does...or I let my wife read it to me while I'm "listening" to her.

                          i only read the manual after I have used all the wd-40, superglue and duct tape I can to solve the problem.

                              No i don't ever. But today my machine design professor wrote on the board. RTFB. I'm sure you can all guess what that means.

                                  Read the fabulous book? No??

                                  With paintball stuff, I sometimes read the manual AFTER I'm done with everything, because it's just one more thing I can occupy my time with that involves paintball. Yes, I'm THAT much of a dork.

                                      Same here but I read the manual a couple of times so don't feel bad.
