 True. Are questions like

Luser: "I typed 'cc' and it said "optional language product not installed"
Kate:  "That's becase 'cc' is an optional language product. And it's not
        installed."

Luser: "I had 20 disks in a RAID5 array. I pulled eight disks out to show
        the boss how it'll stay up no matter what happens. How do I get
        Oracle to recognise that the disks are gone ?"

 Are these stupid questions, or stupid people ?
