So, because "smart" people  were rude to you when you were learning and 
ignorant it's ok to do that to others and the code of conduct is 
wrong??? Shall we all go back to 19th century behaviour then as well?  
If you don't like the questions, or the code of conduct  don't reply. 
There's no need to be rude.

Until Brian's recent long missive I didn't get what the problem was, let 
alone how your answers "helped" anyone other than spreading scorn 
around.  If someone has NO IT training/background, then they may take a 
while to understand certain concepts as they don't have enough referents 
to put things in context. That isn't stupidity only ignorance.
