Additions are welcome!!! %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% Buttons come, and buttons go, but admit it, we all have our favorite button that we just can't get rid of :-). Mine happens to be that hot pink "RTFM" button that I bought from Brian for a buck. I've had it for several years, and always wear it when I "go to DECUS". Folks either: (a) love it, gotta have it, will pay anything for it, and are always thinking of a particular knucklehead it will apply to, or (b) stare blankly in a confused state, ponder all possible & reasonable explanations of RTFM, & finally give up, asking "what does it mean"? In an effort to address the latter, (commonly referred to as "suits"), we started a little game in Anaheim to think up a believable response to RTFM. It took on a life of its own, and the list is rather long (as you'll soon see :-)) Only a few were eligible for censorship. This was *_lotsa_* fun.
