YES! Great words Taint. The respect issue is key. Also don't feel like you have to act like you know everything when dealing with the engineer. In most cases he will know if you're new to all this so just tell him and ask him for his advice on things when you need it. Don't bug him when he is busy, but ask respectfully. Most people like to flex their knowlege.

I'm going to pile on that too, you gave me that same advice when I was getting started, and it was good advice. Chances are (although not always, LOL), the engineer is going to more than you ever will (maybe a stretch, but you get my point), so don't even try to impress them with your taper know-how. Just be professional, humble, respectful, and stay the hell out of their way, and you might, just might get a patch.
