No dumb questions ever. After 23 years around Debian, I still find the
best and quickest way to find an error is to stare at it for three days,
ask someone else to look at it - and they find it in 30 seconds.
Smart wisecrack answers / demeaning someone else's efforts (always provided
they show they've done something) - that's another thing.
It's very worthwhile to think we have all sorts of people with all sorts
of experience and expertise lurking here and that somebody will know the
answer / direct you to resources to find it / have an "Aha!" moment and
sort out their own puzzle when they see you raise it.
All best, as ever,
