AND, this statement was the only useful information out of your post.
The irony here is .... you guys are, even though unaware ... proving my whole point ... which I hope newbies are reading and understanding DO NOT let hot heads (or maybe limp heads) discourage you from posting.
As you can see ... there are many considerate and understanding dudes here that can offer much information.

THAT IS ABOUT THE MOST ASININE REMARK I'VE READ ...
oh well, wait ... there have been others.
AND ... so if you say "asking the most basic questions" (annoys you) ... THEN, who the hell ARE you ... the "Wizard" of ECCIE / hobbying?

Over the years ASPD changed and it wasn't as helpful. Sort of like ECCIE.

THANKS FOR YOUR INPUT VIC K. - Yes, the community was even though a battlefield at times ... never seemed to have the level of hobby trash that ECCIE has attracted.
BUT .... BUT .... BUT ... I will have to say, I've seen a change, and it is small and slow .... but as long as we stick together and support each other (those with respect in and for the community),
hopefully it will continue to move forward with a positive tone.
Listen, I KNOW there are many layers within this hobbying world and we all have our different purposes for being here.
The need to be a mentor or help someone navigate through without abusing - controlling - degrading - or BEING TREATED as such ... I believe is important ... on both ends.
You can agree or not. That is what this thread is about --- to just have respect for what we all do .... and share RESPECT to those ... new or not.
