Well for someone who can spout such a long winded discourse about 
nothing in particular I'm surprised you don't see the obvious.

Allow me to explain as simply as possible.

Lets take the sentence

"allowed to post stupid questions"

Who or what exactly 'allows' someone to post a question. I suggest it is 
the nntp protocol over the users internet connection, it certainly isn't 
you or one of you little group of self appointed administrators.

The word 'stupid' in the context of a question implies an analysis of 
the question and an opinion as to it's stupidity, who's opinion exactly, 
yours ?

What makes you or anyone else qualified to determine the validity of any 
question anywhere on Usenet ... your own grossly inflated ego perhaps.

You are missing the point. It is not this particular instance of 
arrogance I particularly object to although there have been some 
spectacular instances of arrogance here today, but the general 
preponderance of puffed up self appointed quasi academic popinjays
that inhabit usenet in general and this group in particular and are 
strangling what should be a forum for the free and frank exchange of views.
