While in no way being 'trade'....when a new guy turns up at our pond, he's immediately pointed in my direction.
And yes....I get all the 'dumb' questions, and thats my problem, there is no such thing as a dumb question.
"Whats a crystal ? "
"Whats epoxy ? "
Whats a skeg ? "
What may be common knowledge to one, is rocket science to another!
We have a new member at our club who will go through every question you can imagine, but you have to be patient until he arrives at that particular situation that leads him to ask the next question, after which he's educated just a little bit more. Gradually working through a range of 'problems' which through simple question and answer he will eventually educate himself, gain confidence and procede onto more complicated matters. He has been told 'up front' that we are telling him whats what in the simplest terms possible, not because he's a moron, but because we dont want any ambiguity creeping in.
Oh....and he was at Blackpool at the weekend!
Im sorry, but in my opinion to giggle & sneer at someone less informed than yourself in this manner is plain arrogance.
