What’s a nice way to answer all these stupid questions?

I’m really struggling to find a nice way to say “BECAUSE IT’S 2011!” to all these stupid questions. I mean, really these are the kinds of things that other businesses stopped doing years ago, but for some reason this afternoon we have to keep handholding this account director to explain every little thing. It wouldn’t surprise me if in 10 minutes she asks us why we’re using email instead of faxes.

How do you answer stupid questions without sounding like an ass?

But I still feel like we need to not make this person feel like their questions are legitimate because they need to stop or we’ll never get anything done.
