Disagreed. Just ask yourself this question: how long would you survive
in the organization if you gave your colleague the "RTFM answer"? I
thing you would be a history before the day's end.

Who are we to make ruling on "expectations in the group"?

We progress when we can build from what our predecessors accomplished.
Starting from zero and going through the same over and over - sort of
what Lew's suggested in his reply, is counter to this philosophy. And
when I read his latest post it makes me think tat he still does not
get it.
