We seem to have a policy around here of discouraging people from beating themselves up. Please don't beat yourself up when learning things, it's unlikely to be good for you.
Since we've now resolved the debate on stupid vs. non-stupid questions, it's time to consider what determines a "frequently asked" question.
Doesn't it seem funny that people post never-before-asked questions on the "frequently asked questions" forum? I mean, the fact that your question is not among the 1435 already posted there would seem to prove that it isn't "frequently asked" and therefore doesn't belong. Conclusion: it is never appropriate to post anything in that forum.

Since all the questions in that forum boil down to either :
“ How do I do ?.”
or
“ I tried this but it doesn't work, please help”
I would think the category is aptly named
I was going to suggest a special category for:
“error: expected unqualified-id before 'int'”
