Of course I do not want "the elite" (or anyone apart from myself ) to have to answer all sort of n00bish questions, but I'm saying that it could be great to have a place where people dedicated to the simplification of the advanced (such as me) could "educate" interested newbies.

Even gibberish may just have been misunderstood and some clarification should be posted before yelling "crank!"
But let's not go off-topic here...

My vote goes for the creation of research and beginner-math forums

Let's get some dialogue going
