Come on, Craig. If asking is OK, then why do you come up with an answer which I would have taken as an insult?

>>I consider asking questions in a topic specific forum an appropriate step in learning something as a professional. It's insulting to the OP to suggest they are not a professional by the implication that they don't know something that you find obvious. By that token no "professional" should ever ask anything in this forum because given sufficient time and motivation they can find out everything themselves. You don't think about the specific situation of the OP - you assume they must be like you and work like you and have the priorities you have.
