RTM

( /R·T·M/)

   1.  [Usenet:  abbreviation  for `Read The Manual'] Politer variant of
   {RTFM}.

   2.  Robert  Tappan  Morris, perpetrator of the great Internet worm of
   1988  (see {Great Worm}); villain to many, naive hacker gone wrong to
   a  few. Morris claimed that the worm that brought the Internet to its
   knees  was  a benign experiment that got out of control as the result
   of  a  coding  error.  After  the  storm  of  negative publicity that
   followed  this  blunder, Morris's username on ITS was hacked from RTM
   to {RTFM}.
