Tmac,
you will get your chance to return the favour very soon the way you are learning! Dont forget we were all in excatly the same position as you are now just a few years ago, I still know nothing compared to some people. I asked my fair share of noob questions and never had anything but nice, well thought out answers. As William says, that kind of help goes a long way and helps to encourage you. When you get a snotty answer to a question it serves absolutely no purpose other than to make you look small to other forum members.
It cost nothing to be nice 
Paul.
