You'll find that everyone around here is always glad to help with questions, but if they are repeated, or different threads created for very similar questions, you won't get many responses, and some will get irritated. We have alot of threads started every day, so the more we can keep the same type of stuff together in already created threads, the better for everyone.
No need to feel like an idiot!...lol. We all started right where you are at at one point, so just take it in when we try to help you, and you'll be fine. And enjoy the hobby, it's a blast.
Thanks.
