"...I can see this being a long process of trial and error for me to actually see what happens when "this dial" is spun plus I have the other thread to read up on,"

Just a tip: start reading at the end, that's where I put the summaries and wrap up in. Same for my lengthy posts themselves. Or just ask, that's faster than trial and error. Or wait for the tutorial, which at least is more organized and has the Beginner / Intermediate / Advanced info separated. And some open issues sorted out.

Usually I'm wrong. But to be effective and efficient, I don't need to be correct or accurate.
