I have not noticed this ego thing here. I find that even those of guru 
status, including Mike, are happy to answer basic questions as long as 
the poster has done some legwork prior to posting. One should not expect 
to be spoon-fed. Many of the very basic questions have already been 
asked and the answers are out there if you just look. There are also a 
number of other sites with forums and other IC related information. If 
none of them suits you, start your own mailing list just for IC newbies.
