I agree, the only stupid question is the question that you don't ask. By answering questions, and investigating questions, this is what keep most people proficient in there knowledge. You can read books all day on a subject, but someone putting it in their terms can shed light on a situation that quick. Sometimes at work you get caught in high complicated configurations and designs that you forget the basics. I think this list is an open online classroom full of teachers and students. Everyone is a student at some point, because it is impossible to know everything. I have 3323 Items of groupstudy in my inbox, but I wouldn't trade it for the world "actually I would" but that's not the point.
This list yields a wealth of information, and the simplest issue can give new insight or refresh your memory.
Thanks,
Patrick

Jennifer is completely wrong. Even working through the simplest questions
helps me become more adept with the IOS and brings me closer to a successful
lab. I'm sure many others feel the same way too. So to everyone on this
list, please keep the questions coming in, no matter how simple.
