@galdor@emacs.ch One of my heroes in Tech is Phil Zimmermann, the creator of PGP. He is one of my heroes because the only time we ever interacted (through email, maybe twenty years ago), I asked him a very stupid question and he answered quickly and kindly.
I understand that you're absolutely right, but there's also something to be said about being kind to newbies, because they will always ask stupid questions. That's just how it works. We all have, at some point, asked stupid questions, and the way the other person deals with them makes all the difference.
