Hey, speak for yourself! ;)
And frankly, things like this make me afraid of asking
simple questions
myself. Who knows when I might accidentally ask something that I should
have looked up elsewhere, or ask about something that I shouldn't be trying
to do.
To be honest, I feel like nobody here should never be afraid of asking a
question that might also be answered by good ol' research elsewhere. Talking
about the things that we do is what keeps the hobby (and this list) alive, and
there's *always* going to be questions asked that have been covered in the past.
