The only dumb question is the one not asked.

I don't care how many times a person asks a question. Sometimes a person gets so fuddled over something that the obvious is not always so obvious. Never mind the fact each person learns in their own fashion.

Also, as it was said breathing fire on somebody does not exactly make them want to stay which in itself is wrong and goes against what the place is supposed to do for people.

Finally, it may seem those posts are a waste of time. But they could help somebody else who wanders along and does a search. When I was starting out I did find some answers to some very basic stuff. Of course they had many RTFM, RTFD, RTFF replies.

We shouldn't be concerned with helping the "freeloaders." They do get weeded out eventually.
