As I'm sure that many of you have noticed, I tend to answer a lot of questions with a polite version of 'RTFM'. In the case of After Effects, the 'T' actually stands for
Todd's, so this shouldn't come as any surprise. ;-)
One of the reasons that I do this is because I think that directing newbies off to the documentation is a good way to save the time of the experts on the forum and give them more time to sink their teeth into the juicy and interesting questions on the forum.
I always wonder why someone like Kevin or Dave or Bogie would type the same few paragraphs time after time when they could just dispense with the repetitive questions with a link (to Help or to a previous thread)... and then spend several paragraphs on someone with a problem that takes some real thought.
