Unfortunately a lot of newbie's are newbie's for a reason. Either they are inexperienced with how forums work, not familiar with the platform and therefore less likely to know the specific terminology or simply not mechanically minded.
There are plenty of reasons that newbies ask what seem like stupid questions on a forum, its not always laziness. Unfortunately many of the more experienced guys forget that at one point in time, they were newbies themselves. There really shouldnt be any issues with people asking stupid questions. Answering those questions and helping people is the entire point of a forum, is it not. If you have the answer or know where it is located, point them in the right direction and move on.
