I think you have everything pretty well thought out, and I agree with you 
on every account.
The one thing that should be realized, of course, is that when you are 
learning, (the basics, I mean, everyone is learning), you should realize 
that.  The way to learn is to ask, and to talk with other people.  If you 
start without talking intelligently, people will never take you seriously 
enough to help you learn.  
If you don't want to learn, or don't have the time to learn, but still 
like hanging out, this too is okay.  I'm not great at everything, and 
really don't know much at all, (I'm not sure I have the skill that is 
required), but at least I have respect of those who do have the skill, and 
I realize where they come from, and where I come from..
The other important point is that unless you gain someone''s trust, and 
they like you, there is no way in hell that you will learn anything, 
because, in general, it is just too risky to trust people..  So if you 
want to leanr, respect those who are further ahead in their field, if you 
don't want to learn, or don't have the time, that is fine to, but then you 
have to realize that.  

I guess that this message should not haave been posted to you, cosmos, 
since you seem to know all of this, but people reading it should just take 
it as general advice....
