As Punky points out... stupid questions are annoying, but what is a stupid question.. its subjective.
Google should be used when the question posed is not condusive to discussion... compare these two for example:
- Hi, how do I turn active desktop off?
- Hi, active desktop is playing up, I can't get my webpage to display properly.. do any of you use a webpage on your desktop?
One of those questions is a candidate for google.. the other is more suited to a forum.. i'll leave it to you to sort out which is which.
