It's ok man.
A fellow Maemoan wise in what you need explained... will help.
Give it a bit of time for those fellows to notice.

Most explanations here are geared for either a modest or high ( or if you wish to call it "deep") understanding to begin with to fathom, appreciate and execute some desired results...
I do believe in making things as easy as possible in explanation...
as if explaining a process always to someone completely new to our device lines...
It may make such explanation long winded....but everyone understands it.
And god knows I need my own walk-throughs at times..since it is so rare that I do some processes (due to the stability of our devices and platforms) I forget how to do them!!! So I have had to resort to my own walk-throughs many times myself...

I must admit that in some areas here we truly do need "Noob to Pro" written and / or video guides..
It may take some effort to create them ( I know...I've done them... ) ...
but once created...
such walk-throughs are invaluable...
such prepared guides just run all on their own...
like little engines
easy to always refer to...
Saving frustration on the side of the ignorant ( not "ignorant" in the derogotory sense...but "ignorant" as in "not-knowing" sense )

and it saves the perpetual explanation and exasperation on the side of those explaining....

and saves both A LOT of time better pursued doing other things...

More and more I believe such guides are necessary as more and more new people come to our device lines with a great desire to understand ...but have a problem with serious technical terms and methods (which many of us here understand and take for granted everyone "must" also understand...but there was always a time when we all "didn't" get it...so compassion and understanding metes out and you will get a suitable explanation I am sure my good sir..) ...

This could be easily remedied by a step by step walk-through written for all levels of understanding to comprehend ...best is both written and video combined...

But unless it was a "given" protocol here..
it is really up to the creator of "...." to decide their approach to explanation...
