Old men in computer seminars

I'm sure we've all been here before...let's say you are in a really REALLY easy class in school or something. Everything is very straightforward, and there's really no room for misinterpretation. What should be a 15 - 20 minute lesson turns into something much much longer because there is ALWAYS one person who feels the need to stop and ask questions every few minutes. This was my Monday night.

In a seminar for a digital content distribution program, we were shown a program that takes something that could be ridiculously complicated (digital content distribution) and makes it super easy. It was seriously just dragging and dropping. Very cut and dry. Yet one man boldly decided to ask the questions everyone was too afraid to ask...or maybe they were just questions that didn't need to be asked by anyone ever. The worst part is, I was rapidly falling into a coma due to lack of sleep and a heavy Chinese food lunch..so maybe I'm just a bit biased here. Whatever, if you are this person or are someone like him, you fill me with rage..
