I see one or two guys saying " excuse my silly question" or "this may sound stupid but...." Well there are no silly questions , just ask 'em , none of us know everthing ( 'cept Specs, of course but then he gives some of the best answers;) ) Its the only way to find out.

I was an apprentice with a very big contractor when almost every sparky had an apprentice with him, I used to ask about things I didn't understand at breaktimes. I'd see some of the other kids sniggering , pretending that they knew all about it, but when the one of the sparks was explaining it they were all ears .

Met two of the sniggerers in later life, both of 'em Prairie Hats !!!

I agree, its the only way to learn anything.

If you do not ask it implies you know, and thats when know it alls come unstuck!

well said Deke

The only thing that is stoopid is trying to do something and f@{&%^$ up afterwards due to limited or even no knowledge.

 
I have never been afraid to ask even more so in later life , that is what makes this forum the best .. :)
