Booty',
Come on, don't give me that "I'm just a CB'er" thingy. Absolutely nothing wrong with being one of them, but it doesn't/isn't a very good 'excuse' for asking a question. We ALL have questions about things at various times, nothing unusual about that either. Typically, we all ask the same questions too (believe that or not). A few of us (me included) sort of ask the same question more than once, for whatever reason (my excuse is age and all that other stuff crammed in there to make me 'loose' the answer, sort of. Age is a very good excuse for a crappy memory!).
Asking questions isn't a 'bad' sign of a CB'er. Actually, it's a very good thing for a CB'er, or ham, or whatever else the ask'er might be. It means that they are thinking, which is very good!
It also sort of 'smacks' of false modesty. Now that's a waste of time, ain't it? It can also be misconstrued to be 'bragging'. Another one of those wastes of time. And no, I'm really not saying you have a problem with false modesty or bragging! Maybe not quite as 'learned' as some, but so what, we've ALL been there! Why worry bout it?
Biggest reason for not asking questions is because it makes the rest of us have to do some thinking. Some of us are lazy (my excuse anyway). Doesn't mean you shouldn't ask questions, probably a very good thing that you do. uh... scratch that 'probably' and insert 'definitely', if I have to be honest about it.

PS - Why all of the above? Two reasons. One is just what it said. The other is that I killed my 'old' computer, had to get this @#$ #&#$% @#$^() piece of Vista OS'ed machine and am trying to get used to it. I Hate VISTA! Hate this new keyboard too.
One piece of advice I have learned the very hard way is that if you want to up-grade your BIOS, you'd better @#$ well know what you are doing! I gave up on finding all the drivers to change this Vista'ed thing to XP. If "Mr. Microsoft" ever shows his face within 100 miles of me, he had better hope I only have a pie in my hand! That is definitely a real-live threat.
