When I was at a Mensa RG in 1998, I asked a question and was laughed at being told that that was a stupid question. I responded that, no, it was not, for that is how I learn, by asking questions. It would have been stupid had I not asked it. The fact some of us are in the upper 98th percentile in I.Q. does not mean we are \'all-knowing\'; there still are tons more out there to learn and asking questions is one of the best ways of finding out some answers.

But if you ask a question and it is not answered, do you get frustrated because you are ignored?
No such thing as a stupid question...
