When did I say you shouldn't learn?  Look at the message /you just
quoted/.  I said if you "don't want to look them up" or do anything else
productive, you should stop complaining.  Nowhere did I suggest you take
an apathetic approach, or ignore everything and send it to tech support.
 In fact what I recommend is that you take initiative for your own
system and learn what you can about it.  However, I would not claim that
I can figure out everything without seeking help either.
