No need to feel stupid. Learning is a life-long process. It's often hard to know what you need to learn without some direction. For instance:

People (here and elsewhere) often ask the *wrong questions* about a topic, without knowing it. Veterans in the field recognize what they're wanting to do, and may say, "Instead of worrying about that, do this instead." Or, "You're trying to do this, right? Okay, then what you REALLY need to know is..."

The veteran in the field then gets bombarded with comments such as, "You didn't answer the original question! Shame on you for not staying on topic!" Well, the answer to the original question was completely irrelevant to the ultimate solution to the real problem... It might be useful in another situation, but won't help the original poster get to a satisfactory result or solution.

Thanks. You make me feel better. But I did feel really stupid!

Don’t put yourself down. You are one of the elite few. For example:

Most of us have flown IN an airplane. Some of us, including myself is did not think I could learn TO pilot a plane. I am learning by a Certified Flight Instructor. We all need to learn from someone who is more experienced. We become the elite few who have a talent that surpasses others.

My photography teacher in high school was always encouraging us to to push the boundaries of our imagination. Not just in photography but in our lives. I hope you push yourself beyond your imagination.
