Whoops! Maybe you were looking for UN:RTFM?

RTFM is Interwebs-speak for "repeat the first message". It is used when the message did not transfer over the Interwebs properly. If someone tells you to RTFM, be patient with them, and copy-and-paste your original message several times. Also, typing the message with capslock on will improve the chances that it will get through (similar to yelling at a brick wall, telephone, or foreigner).

Example

miket65> how do i change the color of links 
redjl> omg rtfm n00b
miket65> ok
miket65> how do i change the color of links
redjl> RTFM
miket65> HOW CAN I CHANGE THE COLOR OF LINKS 
miket65> HOW CAN I CHANGE THE COLOR OF LINKS
redjl> Message received. Sending you the information over the Cyber-Web.
miket65> Thanks, good buddy!
redjl> You are welcome, Internet pal!
