No, it isn't and if you want to actually help someone instead of just insulting them, you could at least tell them why it's a silly question. It was answers like this that originally kept me avoiding Debian after my first try. D-U was not a friendly list at that point and I noticed whenever I, or other newbies asked questions, we were given answers that were either condescending or worthless. Can we at least offer suggestions or explain why a question is silly? Personally, as someone who spent a decade or more teaching, much of that time in special ed, I've learned that there is no dumb (or silly) question but there are bad answers.
