I've worked with every version of Poser since P1, and I always read the manual, and still refer to P4's occasionally (in spite of all the new developments since it was published). Something that doesn't even register with you at one stage because you just don't know enough, can turn out to be a useful nugget of info (or even a real ah-ha!) later. I often write individual answers to questions, but sometimes it makes more sense to point to a specific manual page, especially if they just aren't understanding the answers or obviously need to spend time on the basics. Whatever works.
