Those of you that post "dumb" questions need not consider them "dumb". We all started as novices and we're here to help. Doesn't a "dumb" question deserve a "dumb" answer? No one will get on you for being ignorant; stupid maybe, but NOT ignorant.

Ignorance is a temporary condition; stupid is permanent. The late John Wayne said it best: "Life is tough but it's tougher if you're STUPID."

Understood!

I know that "stupid" is commonly used, but, IMO, incorrectly. I meant my commentary to be friendly and encouraging to the "newbie" here. DON"T APOLOGIZE for "ignorance; we are ALL ignorant to some degree.

The difference between "ignorant" and "stupid" is like the difference between FAT and UGLY.

If you feel you have a "dumb question", you can always also search. Chances are the same thing was asked a week ago. "How to get more HP out of my 289"
