It isn't about people asking "stupid questions". It's about people asking "stupid questions" without using the SEARCH first. Most of the time, a "stupid question" can be answered with a little homework with the search function. In the event that it isn't, feel free to ask away. And get ready to have your balls busted a little, because there are over 80,000 guys in here and that's what most guys do when someone asks a "stupid question". It isn't anything personnal or malicious, or even that the vets are really tired of answering stupid questions- it's just life in the real world. Anyone who can't handle it needs to join the kiddie forum.
If you use the SEARCH and don't find the answer you need, say so in your post. There are always a few jerks in every bunch, but I'd like to think that most of us in this community are pretty good folks. I, for one, don't care how often I answer the same questions. If I minded, I'd leave...?
