I cannot but to encourage you to ask, ask, ask this list as much and as 
basic
questions as they appear...

Noone will point with the finger towards you and if someone does, i'd 
love to

(Hey, its just me, "jokeordie"-"47 and completely selftaught"-Klaus :-D)

I even offer you to write me offlist (like many others did before, 
maybe because
of the same reasons and everytime we MADE their work sing :-) and i 
will love
to helps you out or try to explain some (hard to understand) basics.
