Here are some thoughts of mine in response to your posting Damian.
"Everyone is someone",
"No one is above anyone in an environment that is unpredictable",
"No one learns faster than someone who teaches",
"Simple questions make the investors who know, ( even a little ) feel  
valued, therefore YOU make them feel good that they can answer your 
questions because it is a nice feeling to help someone on a subject you are 
passionate about.

I hang out for a question simple enough for me to answer!
