I used to frequent a board and if you asked a question that had been asked in the last week or two, you got spamed, flamed, abused, sworn at, and generally insulted until you cried... (so I hear) lol
They were a mean bunch, and then the worst spammers of the bunch assumed the moderator was letting them spam because they KNOW EVERYTHING... actually he was out of town... lol
Stupid questions can be annoying, if you have seen that question a dozen or more times. Books are great I love em, but like was said.... out of date can be a problem. Heck I've got the Baensch Marine Atlas 1 & 2, some of the stuff in these books is ... questionable, so how do you know... ya ask questions... you make mistakes, you open your wallet and you make more mistakes.... HOPEFULLY you learn as you go. I think we all agree we have all made stupid mistakes, and we have all probably asked more than our share of stupid questions, but when we asked them they weren't so stupid to us.
Teevee. I know it gets frustrating, but just think, one day one of those people may write a book and say, some dude goes by Teevee finally got me to understand this concept.... and BANG your famous....well.. kinda.
