There are 2 types of stupid questions.

1. You were too lazy to do a quick search to find the answer on the web or the zone.
a lot of the basic questions have been answered multiple times and all you have to do is look.

2. You didn't ask when you couldn't find it.


A great question goes like this. I am looking to do X.
I searched the zone and found Y. Is there any thing else I need to know?
I see it says Q but I am not sure what it means.

This type of question shows that you took the time to do some reasearch and are smart enough to ask more questions.

Just my 2 cents.

hey, thanks for the tip.

I've answered many a stupid question in my areas of expertise, so I completely understand.

Damn. My father told me "There are no stupid questions. Only stupid people." of course he also told me he invented the exclamation point.. :-)

I agree with Mike, a quick search here has saved me a few times.
