Noted.

I merely asked a dumbass question.

Well, your questions (you asked two in your OP) were both reasonable. What was less reasonable (and decidedly "dumbass") was your response to the answers you got.

And that dumbass question got me into enuf trouble in this
group where nobody seems to understand much of any reality.

Peter Fairbrother's reply looked pretty solid to me, and I'd be prepared to defend my own responses in detail if need be. But you don't strike me as someone who's very interested in details. It seems that you just want someone to tell you "there, there, it'll be all right" - which it probably will be as long as nobody tries too hard to read your stuff.
I don't see why you think your questions got you into trouble, though. They didn't. Your follow-up smartass responses didn't do you any favours, but the questions were fine.

Now you
want me to go someplace where people*do*  know what they're talking
about?

What makes you think the people there will know more than the people here? The only person we know to use both "places" is Stefan Claas, who has yet to offer any response to your question, so how are you to judge whether he knows what he's talking about?
