"HA" as much as I can understand yr angst here we ALL started out knowing zip about flying, we had to learn everything from scratch. How it's done as well as all the traps along the way whether that be reading the rules/reg's attending classes etc or asking fellow aviators whom went the same path before us or simply finding out by other means, PPRuNe being just another avenue.
I'd like a dollar for every question I have asked of many a pilot over the years to fill my experience tool chest so I can draw on it from time to time for the right tool.
I'm still learning after 33 yrs driving planes & if I get some info from these pages either from accidentally reading it or asking someone here then I ain't too proud to say so
Each to their own I say & good on the guy for simply asking.
Remember everyone there are NO dumb questions when it comes to aviation especially when your airborne!:-)
