I know some threads are silly, but I usually try to take them seriously and answer with details. I have neighbors and family members ask me these all the time and I never go about being rude about it!
Of course instead of say, deleting the off-topic replies, the whole thread gets dumped. This happens every time: why should people like me bother writing detailed explanations to help new members [with seemingly "dumb" questions] if my time is obviously of no value, so the moderators will just delete the thread?
