If there are 'no stupid questions' then how can someone be 'allowed to 
ask a stupid question"

It's just a question

And here's a thing. Why do Arne and his pals feel the need to chastise 
someone for being 'insulting' to a particular responder. Surely that 
responder will speak up if he feels offended.

Why do you or Arne or anyone else for that matter feel the need to 
interfere in this way.  Do you feel you have a right because you have 
'been on Usenet for 25 years' or so. Why don't you let people speak for 
themselves.

There you go again, making assumptions. The very first thing I was 
taught when studying for my Computer Science degree was 'never assume 
anything'

I too have been using Usenet for 20 odd years, I've been reading this 
group on and off for years ... today or yesterday or whenever it was 
just struck a nerve. I've been ignoring pompous self important self 
appointed busybodies for all that time so I'd appreciate it if you 
didn't don't make assumptions about something you know nothing about.

Anyway I think I've got to the bottom of what it is that's bugging me. 
It's this apparent right you (collectively) feel you have to chastise 
someone for behaviour you feel is inappropriate for this group.

Why can't you just mind your own business.
