Completely wrong approach.  If you do not want people to read questions they 
would consider stupid, simply do not ask questions in a way that you think 
is stupid; always ask your questions the smart way.  It is easier than you 
think, you just have to put your mind into the question.  Put yourself into 
the position of someone generally willing to help *for free* *in their free 
time*, and then choose the wording of the question so that they would want 
to read it.  If you think of how much *you* value *your* free time, you can 
never go wrong.

We (and I think I am not alone) recognize already from the way that you ask 
your question if you are a beginner.  And there is nothing wrong with that; 
we all have been beginners at some topic at some point in time.

What is wrong is wanting to *stay* a beginner, to have others do your 
homework for you, in their free time, for free.

You should read a FAQ for this newsgroup to remove your misconceptions.  And 
you should not post using Google Groups, which is buggy, and origin of spam 
and trolls due to lack of QA there.  Use a newsreader instead.
