You aren't being admonished for asking "stupid questions" - it's because you
emphatically tried to correct someone else when they were trying to help you
("there's no such thing as G5 iMac!" - note the exclamation mark) when you
obviously (and admittedly) didn't know what you were talking about.

It made you a target too easy to pass up ... take your foot out of your
mouth, give a little more specific background information (ie operating
system version, software version, computer model, etc.) when you ask your
questions, and you'll find there are many knowledgeable people on the list
willing to help you out.
