Your question is not stupid.  In fact, we discussed it at the FreeDog
meeting this last Tuesday.

The answer is: it depends upon what you want to do.  Do you want a
"group" operation, so that you can select a bunch of individual polys,
and create a logical grouping of them so they all become part of a
larger group which you can select and move?  If so, PCB doesn't
currently support this operation.  Yes, it would be nice, but please
keep in mind that the poly code is very new, and not all desirable
features have been implemented or even imagined.
