...I'd say don't worry about it. There is a class of technician who
believes it to be a personal affront when someone asks a question that they (the
technician) already knows the answer to. Usually this sort of person
will also take offense at being told a fact that they already
possess.
Just keep posting your earnest questions and your
earnest responses, and eventually the right result will
occur.
I certainly
thought this question worthy of a little thought. Many
programmers are born puzzle-solvers and it's hard for
those among us to pass up a good puzzle that needs a
solution.
So keep contributing in good faith.
