In some ways I think it is good that newbies come on and ask what might be considered silly questions. It gives us a chance to say Hi! A warm welcome always makes people feel better.
I myself come on here and ask questions that I am sure others find kind of dumb. They always answer me and are polite and nice about it, much nicer than my kids and grandkids when I ask them the same questions.
If you check the forums you will find that a lot of the questions have been asked over and over and they always get the same reasonable and helpful answers. You will find us all get our back up a little (sometimes a lot) bit when someone who has been here a month decides the site should be made over into their idea of what it should be. Usually it will have references to another site that shall remain nameless.
When I started I printed out 3 of the helps that are offered and check them often. Still there are things I am not sure I understand so having a newbie section may not be that much help. Sometimes you just need to know there are other people out there that can help.
What it comes down to I think is that "The only dumb question is the one that is never asked".
