Well put. I think the bigest problem with the so-called 'stupid'
questions is the assumption that the person hasn't bothered to get a
little background in the subject before posting. All the flaming about
horse's ass engineers and CAD monkey designers and fitter apes is a
little distressing, even after hearing it all from time to time over 35
years in the biz. Anyone making blanket statements like that is sticking
a poker right up his own kilt because we all depend on each other. If I
tell a welder to stop asking dumb questions and get on with his work one
day, there's a good chance I'll get 'I dunno' for an answer when I need
help with a fab problem the next. You never know when a returned favor
will pull your butt out of the fire.
