There is no such thing as a stupid question. The tenth or twelfth time
a question is asked in a mailing list, it's time to add it to the FAQ.
The tenth or twelfth time a question is asked by the same person (I'm
remembering my days doing tech support for Tandy, dealing with our
brilliant sales personnel), you decide that it wasn't the question that
was exhibiting stupidity. [Honest, how many times do you have to tell a
salesguy how to duplicate a floppy, then have to send the copy-protected
original back to the factory because he copied a bare formatted disk to
it, before you realise that despite how good a salesman he is that he's
best used as landfill?]
