It occurred to me that there may be many people out there who are just starting out in preparing who are afraid of asking questions because they're worried about sounding stupid. Let me put that one to rest immediately: The only stupid question is the one you didn't ask. If you want to know something, ask. I don't know it all. I doubt anybody here knows it all. I do know some, and am learning more every day, but I don't know it all. I learn more every day by asking questions. I ask them of myself, and go look them up on the net, or I ask people who might know the answer. My attitude on that is the only stupid question is the one I didn't ask out of embarrassment or whatever that got me killed or injured later. Nobody is born knowing this stuff. There are people on here who have been doing this a long time, and others who are just starting out, and a LOT of others who are somewhere in between. In other words, if you don't know, ask. When you get an answer, evaluate it, see if it's right for you in your personal situation, then go from there. The worst thing you can possibly do is sit there in silence out of fear of not looking "smart enough" or "savvy" or whatever.
Hey, that's why we all have screen names, right? :)
