I don't think anyone on the list is really encouraging people not to ask questions. This list has been around for a long time & all has gone well with much back & forth information & questions. Recently we have had a couple of very young people join the list. We all like to see young people interested in our hobby & willing to learn. However a 12 year old has the knowledge base, the mentality & the maturity.... of a 12 year old. That is hard for some members to take. A very few keep asking very basic questions over & over. Like when little kids keep saying "why" to every answer you give them. Each question may be legitimate & each answer different, but it gets old after awhile. Some members are just trying to direct the younger ones towards other areas where they can learn. They can learn a lot just by reading the posts. They can then ask questions of the list that they can't get other places or at least ask questions that are not so very basic. An adult who know little about our hobby still asks intelligent questions & learns from the answers. Sometimes kids do not. No one really wants to dampen the kids spirits but just get them under control a little. For all of us adults on the list, let's try to remember, they're only kids, we're the adults. We should be able to peacefully & tactfully control them instead of letting them control us. My opinion. Don
