On the one hand, having simple questions get asked is undoubtedly
boring and offensive to the geniuses out there.

On the other hand, these questions (as the one about RGB color)
usually get lots of responses, and often (as in the example) bring
out some useful information that even those of us that thought
they knew the answer can learn from.

So, great, you start a new group for the new users.  That way
us geniuses don't have to be bothered.  And this group
can fill up with flames of the form:
"that was a naive question, you fool. You should have known to
post it in *.newuser.* "

I'd rather see the questions, than the flames.....
