Don't apologize. There are a lot of arrogant people on this list that
like to hassle people with legitimate questions. If someone wants to
know how to do something then they want to know how to do it. If people
don't have the answer they shouldn't respond with "you don't want to
know that" because if that were true they wouldn't be asking the
question in the first place.
